Responsibility › Our people
Our people are central to our success.
Acting responsibly means investing in our people and these communities, keeping them safe and helping them thrive over the long term.
SUPPORTING
Health and Safety
Keeping our people safe is our top priority. Our vision is to create a safe working environment that sustains zero injuries and zero work-related ill-health.
Governed by our Health and safety policy, and as the result of a rigorous approach to risk management, robust governance and our network of critical risk champions, we are proud of AB Mauri’s safety record. We recognise however that there is more to do, and our target is to reduce injuries to zero.

Health and Wellbeing
Fostering employee well-being is good for our people and the organisation, and promoting wellbeing helps create a positive working environment where both individuals and our business can thrive.
Our wellbeing programmes include initiatives supporting wellbeing across many areas – physical, mental, social, financial. Recent examples include “First aider” training, workshops focussed on Mental Health and discounted membership for health & wellness facilities, workplace exercise clubs and programmes and financial guidance and awareness programmes.
Learning and Engagement
A Learning Culture is key to our business philosophy. Our approach comprises a majority on-the-job experience and the remainder through coaching and mentoring, and formal training. Technical experts from AB Mauri’s Global Technology Centre in Etten-Leur, Netherlands deliver Technology Bakery Ingredients training through modular training programmes, designed to build knowledge on specific bakery product applications for all regions worldwide. Likewise our technical experts based in our Sydney Technology Centre provide equivalent training programmes for our yeast business.
We regularly connect with our employees to gather feedback and develop action plans on how we can better build happy, healthy and productive workplaces. Periodic employee engagement surveys are held, and a number of our businesses run town hall meetings, hold listening forums, publish newsletters and share business and employee updates.
Diversity and Inclusion
AB Mauri celebrates its diversity across the 32 countries it operates in, with an approach designed to respond to the local cultures and traditions of the societies we serve.
We recognise there is always more to be done however. Family-friendly policies, awareness and education including unconscious bias training, external partnerships and support of charities are just some of the ways we are embedding Diversity Equity &Inclusion practices into our business.
We have increased female representation in leadership positions and are committed to increasing this further through ensuring diversity and inclusion in our recruitment practices.
