Bacardi Limited has once again landed a spot on the Forbes’ list of the “World’s Best Employers 2025”.
The family-owned company is a repeat show on the global list, which is based on more than 300,000 independent surveys conducted in more than 50 countries.
Participants were asked whether they would recommend a company to family or friends, and to rate it based on such criteria as workplace environment, salary, and other key criteria.
Bacardi, the world’s largest privately held international spirits company, earned the highest ranking of pure spirits companies coming in at #86.
