Century Pacific Food Inc. has once again earned a spot on Forbes’ World’s Best Employers list, marking its second straight year of global recognition and reinforcing the company’s view that culture is not a soft metric, but a serious business asset.
The listed food company said the honor reflects its commitment to building an impact-driven, values-based organization—one that supports around 30,000 people across its operations and supply chain.
“We are truly grateful to be named again as one of Forbes’ World’s Best Employers,” said CNPF President and Chief Executive Officer Ted Po. “When people gather around an inspiring mission, they can work together to create real, positive impact.”
That mission is tightly woven into CNPF’s core business. The group is home to household brands such as Century Tuna, 555, Argentina, and Birch Tree, alongside fast-growing names like Coco Mama, Goodest, and unMeat. Its products reach 9 out of 10 Filipino households through more than 800,000 points of sale—a scale that makes talent retention and engagement a competitive necessity, not a luxury.
CNPF Vice President for Human Resources and Corporate Affairs George Wang III said the company deliberately invests in people development and values formation. Programs such as Century Leadership University, 7 Habits Training, and the Sibol Awards aim to turn culture into a daily operating system rather than a wall poster.
The company has also leaned into inclusive growth. In 2025, CNPF expanded its Dual Tech Partnership program, offering internships to technical scholars from marginalized communities, with 46 trainees deployed across four business units by year-end and lined up for full-time roles.
Forbes’ list is based on independent surveys of more than 300,000 employees across over 50 countries. Century Pacific is among just nine Philippine companies to make the 2025 cut—a reminder that even in consumer staples, strong brands are built from the inside out.
