Inclusion and Respect at Ferrero

Ferrero is committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture in which all employees feel welcomed and appreciated and have the same opportunities. We believe all our people are equally talented in their own way. In nurturing the curiosity and natural abilities of our employees, we provide them, generation after generation, the means to succeed personally and professionally, enabling them to craft their journey at Ferrero. The diversity of our talents is what makes our work environment multicultural, innovative, and highly rewarding.

“Acreditamos que é essencial criar uma cultura corporativa inclusiva, que se apoie em todo potencial dos nossos talentos para responder às prioridades do nosso negócio. Por isso, trabalhamos em todo o mundo para oferecer uma cultura de confiança, respeito, diversidade e oportunidade para todos.” Giovanni Ferrero, Presidente da Ferrero International S.A.

Our strategy

At Ferrero, our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) strategy is built on five dimensions that serve as a compass in defining global priorities and aspirations for 2030: Gender, Nationalities, Generations, Working Cultures and Persons with Disabilities.

These key pillars are linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Nossas Dimensões

Nossas dimensões globais destacam aspectos da identidade individual que podem ser considerados como parte da nossa estratégia de Inclusão e Respeito.

Essas dimensões refletem as características protegidas descritas na Política do Grupo contra a Discriminação e o Assédio e podem ser definidas de forma diferente de acordo com cada localidade, em conformidade com as leis e regulamentações locais.

As dimensões foram desenvolvidas com o objetivo de promover uma consistência global, ao mesmo tempo em que contemplam as necessidades e as realidades locais.

Our team

At Ferrero, we have a DE&I team that makes action happen. It consists of:

A Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Manager.
Regional DEI Ambassadors that advance, coordinate and lead local DE&I efforts.
DE&I Councils are supported by over 150 of our senior leaders.
