“Teck is proud to have an exceptional workforce of skilled,
dedicated and passionate people who are committed to providing the
materials necessary to build a better quality of life for

co-workers, their families and their communities while maintaining
employment. This has been a challenging year for everyone, but
their focus on health and safety and on responsible resource
development has never wavered.”

employees and their families through the pandemic. This includes
free access to on-demand virtual health services and support for

Teck created a $20-million fund to support critical social
initiatives and increased healthcare capacity in local communities
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dozens of organizations have
been supported, including food banks, healthcare services,
Indigenous organizations and others.
The fourth-annual list of the World’s Best Employers is compiled
by Forbes with market research firm Statista. They surveyed 160,000
full-time and part-time workers from 58 countries working for
businesses with operations in multiple nations or regions. Surveys
were conducted on a rolling basis from June to July, and
participants were asked to rate their willingness to recommend
their own employers to friends and family. They were also asked to
rate their satisfaction with their employers’ Covid-19 responses
and score their employers on image, economic footprint, talent
development, gender equality and social responsibility. The final
list is composed of 750 multinational and large corporations
headquartered in 45 countries. To learn more about Forbes World’s
