Thirty two Swiberites were nominated for this prestigious award, all of them outstanding in their field of work, all of them big
names in Swiber. This year’s batch of “gems” is ostensibly
copious compared to last year’s. Some hail from as far as the Middle East and India, all belonging to different business units,
but their exemplary embodiment of Swiber’s TRADE values and CNH philosophy brought them
together. In this special feature, some of them share about what they felt upon receiving the award and what the
recognition means to them.

ExpandingConsciousness
We have to become aware of our true nature, in order for this Consciousness
to express itself through us. We have to move beyond the smallness of our lim-
ited perspective and see ourselves not as separate, superior or fearful beings, but
part of the whole field of Consciousness.
