"We are honoured and thrilled to receive this important award for the third time in a row as confirmation of our ongoing commitment to our employees," said Jana Wieser, Global Head of People. "The world of work has changed enormously in recent years. It is our mission as a company to positively shape this change in the interest of our teams and to create an excellent global employee experience. We focus on creating an innovative and diverse working environment, leveraging an open and people-orientated culture as well as offering excellent employee engagement and development opportunities. We put the needs of our people at the centre of our work and ambition. I am truly proud of our Canyon Crew, who contribute to Canyon's success with their passion and performance every day."
