Fortune and Great Place To Work have named Collaboration Betters The World (CBTW) to the inaugural Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For Southeast Asia 2025 List. This recognition is based on confidential employee feedback through the Great Place To Work Trust Index Survey, which evaluates leadership credibility, respect, fairness, well-being, workplace pride and a sense of purpose. Only companies with consistently strong and inclusive feedback across their workforce are selected.
To be eligible for the Fortune list – compiled in partnership with Great Place to Work – companies must have at least 200 employees and be recognized on one or more national Best Workplaces Lists in Southeast Asia. More than 1.3 million employees across ten markets were invited to assess trust, fairness and support at work, with over 550,000 verified survey responses shaping the inaugural regional rankings.
A Culture Built on Collaboration, Growth and Positive Thinking
“Being recognized on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For Southeast Asia List is a meaningful milestone for CBTW,” said Pieter van Diermen, CBTW Founder and CEO APAC. “Our teams of more than 700 colleagues in Vietnam, Singapore, India, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Australia help create a working environment where shared purpose and collaboration guide everyday decisions. This recognition affirms their contribution and strengthens our commitment to supporting people in building fulfilling and successful careers.”
Collaboration, commitment, evolution and positive thinking also guide CBTW’s approach as a global technology company. These values shape the mindset teams bring to developing innovative and AI powered solutions, and they strengthen the way the company partners with clients to deliver meaningful and sustainable business outcomes.
Recognition from Great Place To Work
Great Place To Work highlighted the significance of CBTW’s achievement through perspectives from its leadership. Evelyn Kwek, Managing Director of Great Place To Work ASEAN and ANZ, noted the importance of trust and care in creating a meaningful workplace experience. “The companies on this year’s list have demonstrated a deep commitment to their people. CBTW is part of a group that shows how trust driven cultures create environments where people feel valued, inspired and empowered to bring their best work forward.”
CBTW’s previous recognition as a Great Place To Work Certified organization further strengthens this milestone. In 2025, the company was recognized as a Great Place To Work Certified organization in Vietnam, with 94 percent of employees affirming that CBTW is a great place to work. Survey findings reaffirmed strong alignment with CBTW’s values and highlighted high levels of trust in leadership, opportunities for development and support for employee well-being.
