Sustainability
People are our key ingredient
As a truly international organisation, we are diverse, open and collaborative. We want everyone to feel valued - and that includes our employees, partners and customers.
Protecting finite resources
Today’s global environmental challenges are substantial and we’re ambitious in pursuing positive, long-term change by treating the planet and its resources respectfully.
Being a good neighbour
Across the world, our sites have close links with their local communities. Not only do we work in collaboration with our neighbours to manage the impact our operations may have on them, but we empower our businesses to support local charities and organisations.
From around our business
Giving employees a helping had with their qualifications
At ABF Ingredients, we believe that people are our key ingredient, and we actively promote opportunities to help individuals across our businesses reach their potential. One of the ways we do this is through the ABF Ingredients Study Sponsorship Programme, which facilitates access to higher-level education or training for those who haven’t had the time, support, or resources to pursue further education at other times in their lives.
