Milan—Mapei has been recognized in the World’s Best Companies 2025 ranking published by Time. Now in its third edition, the study identifies 1,000 companies shaping the future of business. 
“In North America and across the globe, this recognition affirms our ongoing commitment to excellence, responsibility and growth,” said Luigi Di Geso, president and CEO of Mapei North America. “Being named among the world’s best companies is a reflection of the dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, and our shared vision for building a more sustainable future.”
The Time ranking is based on three dimensions: employee satisfaction, revenue growth and ESG (environmental, social and governance) transparency. Researchers collected data from more than 200,000 workers worldwide. They analyzed financial performance over the past three years. They also assessed companies’ commitments to sustainability and social responsibility. Using a scoring model that weighted each dimension equally, the study selected the top 1,000 companies with the strongest performance.
