For the tenth consecutive year, UniCredit has been recognised as a Top Employer in Europe, with local certifications achieved by the banks in Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina (Mostar), Germany, Italy, Romania, Serbia, and the Group's branches in Poland and Romania.
The Certification reflects UniCredit's ability to deliver consistent, high-performing people strategy across multiple countries, supported by scalable practices that drive business performance, employee engagement and growth.
Siobhán McDonagh, Head of Group People & Culture at UniCredit, commented: "We are proud to be recognised as a Top Employer for the 10th consecutive year—this is not just an honour, it's a promise. A promise to keep building an environment that champions diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning. This achievement reflects the passion, talent, and commitment of our people and our shared vision of a workplace where everyone can thrive. We will continue to celebrate individuality, encourage growth, and drive collective success—because together, we can unlock a better tomorrow for all: our people, our clients, and our communities."

Top Employers Institute CEO Adrian Seligman commented: "Being recognised as a Regional Top Employer for 2026 is a significant achievement that reflects the strength and consistency of UniCredit's people strategy across multiple countries.
