CEO and Managing Director of A. Baur & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, Rolf Blaser, was bestowed the ‘Most Admired CEO of the Year 2022’ title in recognition of his visionary leadership, resilience, and growth-innovation mindset inevitably displayed throughout last year despite the many challenges.
Hosted by ‘The CEO Magazine’, the 2022 CEO of the Year Awards was held at the Cinnamon Grand recently.
Under Blaser’s leadership, Baurs has seen a rapid transformation in its strategic direction with the aim of continuing to be the most sought-after partner among suppliers locally and internationally, representing well renowned and reputed brands and organisations who have placed their trust in the company for decades, and also as the employer of choice for hundreds of Sri Lankans.
Baurs has raised the bar for being the first in many initiatives that sets the stage for others to follow suit. Very recently and for the first time in Sri Lanka, Baurs introduced a one-of-a-kind child support benefit for all its employees.
Celebrating 125 years of progressive innovation and a corporate legacy that is built on its Swiss heritage and value systems, Baurs has evolved to become not just the largest private fertiliser company but also a fast-growing name in various sectors.
His colleagues at Baurs also share similar views, commending on its workplace culture that has deeply cultivated intrinsic trust, pride, cameraderie and fun.
Baurs strongly resonates its success and growth to all employees, investing significantly in one’s personal and professional development to take on new opportunities and responsibilities, whilst ensuring mutual respect, care, and integrity.
Baurs was one of the few that assured job security with no layoffs or salary deductions during the height of the pandemic and provided various financial and non-financial assistance including increased insurance cover for its lower income group and organised many activities to welcome back its employees.
