LAVAL, QC, Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Alimentation
Couche-Tard (''Couche-Tard'') is proud to announce that it has been
named to Forbes' 2021 list of the ''World's Best Employers,''
published this week. Of only 25 Canadian companies to have made the
list of 750 companies worldwide, Couche-Tard stands out as the top,
and only, Canadian retailer among those awarded.
"We are a people first company, and our focus is on building a
diverse and empowered team that will grow with us as we strive to
become the world's preferred destination for convenience and
mobility. This recognition is a testament to our 124,000 team
members' deep commitment to making it easier for our customers
every day and the strength of our unique culture'' said
Brian Hannasch, President and
CEO.
Throughout 2021, the majority of Couche-Tard's workforce has
been on the frontlines of the pandemic supporting its communities
as an essential service. That has not slowed down the company's
ambitions to be future-ready as it celebrates important strategic
and innovation projects in the last year from the global rollout of
its Fresh Food, Fast initiative to the deployment of pioneering
frictionless checkout experiences in Montreal and in Arizona, to leading the way in Electric
Vehicle charging solutions from its lab in Norway.
The company has also been committed to fostering its culture of
growing together, providing competitive training and development
opportunities, notably by investing in best-in-class gamified
training and a national scholarship fund in Canada available to team members and their
children.
''Every day, we are taking steps to create inclusive and safe
workplaces for our teams, where we can share successes and always
grow together. What sets us apart are the countless
opportunities across the different types of roles at Couche-Tard,
from serving our customers in stores, to finance, technology,
mobility, marketing and more. It's an exciting time to be part of
the future with us and join a world-class team and company''
Ina Strand, Chief People Officer at
Couche-Tard.
