Our promise to protect food, people, and the planet drives every aspect of our business. We firmly believe that every employee plays their part in delivering our strategy. Our investments in leadership and technical competencies – from recruitment to retirement – are, therefore, investments in the success of our business because they support productive careers with us.
We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages1 , opportunities for career growth, and a supportive and inclusive work environment to retain top talent.
Growth through learning
By nurturing leadership skills and technical competencies, we empower our employees to make meaningful contributions towards our strategic goals and contribute positively to the world we live in.
Building competencies and fostering a culture of continuous learning and development is a core principle. Through the promotion of knowledge-sharing and experience, we create an environment where competence is valued, acknowledged, and rewarded. Our employees can expect ongoing opportunities for growth that align with their personal goals while contributing to our corporate strategy.
Evaluations & incentives for success
To ensure the development of competencies remains a priority, we embed sustainability into employee performance through our Balanced Scorecard, where 10% of measures are linked to ESG goals.
We believe in recognising and celebrating achievements, and financial incentives are available to those who meet their goals, including environmental targets such as recycling rates and greenhouse gas emissions. By linking individual performance to sustainability objectives, we encourage employees to actively contribute to environmental and social sustainability efforts.
Broadening competencies across functions
We are committed to helping our employees develop competencies across various corporate functions. From deepening customer understanding to fostering effective leadership, opportunities are provided to enhance skills that are critical for success in today's dynamic business landscape.
By promoting learning and sharing knowledge and experience across the business, we build a culture where competence is respected, recognised and rewarded.
Collecting and acting on feedback from employees
We regularly measure employee engagement and act on feedback through a mix of large-scale surveys every two years and pulse surveys twice a year.
In our most recent engagement survey, we scored 10% above the manufacturing industry average on diversity and inclusion, with 84% of employees saying they can bring their whole selves to work. In 2024, we introduced voluntary self-identification questions on ethnicity, disability, neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ identities, giving us deeper insights to shape inclusion strategies and ensure every voice is heard.
