honoring people who have been with Atlas

HISTORY

The Gold Club was established in

Sweden in 1968.

The initiative was taken by Kurt-Allan

Belfrage, President and CEO at the time.

Belfrage wanted to honor the people that

have served and contributed to the

development of the company for 25

years or more.

Sweden had then 4 000 employees.

The initial number of gold club members

were 490.

When, where and why?

HOW IT STARTED

Anyone who has worked for the Group for

25 years can become a member of a Gold

Club.

It doesn’t matter if it is an unbroken

employment or of you add up different

periods that you have worked for Atlas

Copco.

Should you be working for an acquired

company, you can count in all the years

you have worked for that company to

reach the 25 years. The only condition is

that you also have been part of the Group

for five years.

Gold Club have the right to carry the pin.

25 YEARS IS A LONG TIME

They stay because it is a sound business with

strong values where people have the opportunity to

grow

”Why do people stay so long at Atlas Copco?”

They stay because of the people. It is all about

friendship and pride. The Atlas Copco spirit is unique.

Membership in a Gold Club ensures that you keep

the Atlas Copco family network and meet colleagues

and friends, old and new, on a regular basis also after

retirement.

THE GOLD CLUB - WAY FORWARD

The Gold Club is a way of positioning Atlas Copco as a first class employer.

Membership honors those who have contributed to the company for a long time.

It serves as a tool for people retention.

All countries where Atlas Copco has been active for more than 25 years should establish a local Gold Club.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIVITY.
