At FrieslandCampina, we appreciate that everyone is unique and brings their own set of qualities and perspectives. We cherish this uniqueness because we know that diverse teams are the best teams and can achieve great things when everyone feels valued, respected, and engaged.
The power of we
We believe in the power of 'we.' We strive to create an environment that allows all employees to bring their best and authentic selves to work, unleashing their true nature, in order to drive a better and more sustainable business performance. Our goals regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) are outlined in our DE&I policy. We educate and inspire our employees on DE&I topics, for example on unconscious biases, cultures, and inclusive language.
Women’s Empowerment Principles
FrieslandCampina endorses the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), enabling the company to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and foster business practices that encourage women to take on leadership roles in the industry. The endorsement marks a significant milestone in the company's journey towards gender equity and women's empowerment. Our commitment to these principles underscores our determination to create an environment that fosters equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Employee engagement for refugees
In 2024, we launched a mentorship programme in collaboration with our partner Refugee Talent Hub (a support programme for individuals with a refugee background), which supports 15 mentees in their integration into the Dutch labour market. As mentors, FrieslandCampina employees play a crucial role in supporting the professional development and integration of these people with a refugee background in the Netherlands.
