Commenting on the achievement, Muhammad Rizwan Dalia said the recognition reflected years of dedication toward building a workplace where diversity, equity and inclusion remain central to the company’s culture.
He noted that receiving international recognition was particularly significant for a company operating in Pakistan’s power sector, an industry that has faced numerous challenges over the years.
According to Dalia, KE’s experience has shown that diversity drives innovation, equity builds trust, and inclusion enables employees to perform at their best.
He added that representing Pakistan on the global stage was a proud moment for both the organisation and its workforce.

The company stated that initiatives focused on employee development, inclusion, and leadership remain an important part of its ongoing organisational transformation.
The award also positions KE among internationally recognised employers that are investing in workplace innovation and talent development while strengthening employee engagement.
