Nutreco people and investing in the community
|
Nutreco shall provide safe working environments, fair and equal employment in all its operations, regardless of gender, race, colour, creed or sexual orientation. All employees have access to training and opportunities for advancement in line with their talents and ambition. Nutreco shall be a positive presence in communities where it is located and in wider society by acting as an enabler in social and economic development.
Nutreco Sustainability Policy |
As can be seen in the relevant paragraph of the Nutreco Sustainability Policy, the health and safety of employees has a high priority in Nutreco. This is also expressed in the Nutreco Code of Ethical Conduct (www.nutreco.com > Corporate Governance), which describes the business ethics and moral values to which the company subscribes. It is more than a matter of meeting legal obligations. That is only the start. In the constant drive to recruit and retain the best people, the working environment is important and Nutreco has a small, highly knowledgeable team permanently occupied in auditing and advising the operating companies on health and safety at work, together with environmental measures and quality issues. This is the HSEQ team.
In addition, Nutreco requires fairness in employment and, through the activities of the Human Resources team, it is continuously developing the opportunities offered for performance management, training and development of careers within Nutreco.
Looking outside the company, Nutreco has always been active in engaging with local communities and with those further away, for example through charitable donations. With the development of the Nutreco Sustainability Policy and its implementation in the businesses of Nutreco, these external relationships will gain official endorsement within Nutreco and recognition as a valid part of Nutreco activities. They will also be given a greater sense of direction and purpose.
Activities in these three aspects of Nutreco people and investing in the community are described on the following pages.
