Inclusion & Respect at Ferrero
At Ferrero, we believe that what makes you unique, makes us great. Our strength lies in the diverse talents, perspectives, and passions of our people. Everyone contributes something irreplaceable. We celebrate these differences as the driving force behind our creativity, our inclusive culture, and our ability to craft products loved across generations.
We are proud to care - both for the people who work with us and for the communities we serve around the world. This deep sense of care fuels everything we do: from how we nurture personal and professional growth, to how we innovate with integrity and responsibility.
Our products are as unique as the people who make them. It’s through the combination of our individual strengths and shared values that we continue to deliver quality, joy, and delight in every bite. By empowering each person to bring their best selves to Ferrero, we ensure that everyone can succeed—and that together, we create something truly exceptional.
“We believe it is essential to create an inclusive company culture that builds on the full range of our talents to respond to our business priorities. Therefore, we work hard across the world to offer a culture of trust, respect, diversity and opportunity for all.”
Giovanni Ferrero, President of Ferrero International S.A.
Our strategy
At Ferrero, our Inclusion & Respect strategy focuses on four focus areas:
Data & Dimensions: We use data to understand the experiences of our colleagues and have a global set of dimensions that creates consistency across the business.
People Processes: we nurture inclusion and respect in our culture, developing competence and capability across the employee life cycle.
Communications & Engagement: we communicate consistently on inclusion and respect and can identify where there are gaps to address in different groups’ engagement.
Business Consistency: we can translate the principles of inclusion and respect into every brand in the Group.
Our dimensions
Our global dimensions highlight aspects of individual identity that may be considered as part of our Inclusion & Respect strategy.
These dimensions reflect the protected characteristics detailed in the Group Anti-discrimination and Harassment Policy and may be defined differently by location in accordance with local laws and regulations.
The dimensions have been designed in order to create global consistency while being inclusive of local needs and realities.
