We’re able to do this work by bringing our ÐÓ°Épro values to life. Our ÐÓ°Épro values are the foundation for everything we do as an organization. Whether on the road, in the fields or moving grain around the world, these are the values that guide our every decision. We’re proud to support a culture that empowers our people to truly live our values.
At ÐÓ°Épro, Inclusion is one of our four core values, and we believe excellence and growth stem from diverse thinking.
ÐÓ°Épro partners with organizations externally to create awareness about ÐÓ°Épro and build a broad talent pipeline for agriculture. This allows ÐÓ°Épro to strengthen business strategy and community ties through building trusted relationships over time.
We participate in regional partnerships and national conferences with organizations such as Hiring our Heroes; Genesys Works; Women in Agriculture; Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS); and Together We Grow. Through these partnerships, ÐÓ°Épro focuses on attracting talent to serve global markets effectively.
Through our employee resource groups (ERGs), all employees have opportunities to network and build relationships. Our ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that promote an inclusive and cooperative work environment by fostering connection, understanding, and support.
We focus on three key inclusive behaviors to support our culture and value of inclusion: creating openness, welcoming differences, and leading with bravery.
Our sustainability strategy places ongoing focus on supporting people and our local communities.
We invest in rural America through a variety of stewardship partnerships while living out our values of safety, integrity, inclusion and cooperative spirit. ÐÓ°Épro Community Giving and ÐÓ°Épro Foundation drive impact through initiatives that build agriculture career pathways, educate rural youth and strengthen hometown communities.
Safety is one of our core values at ÐÓ°Épro and we strive to cultivate a safety-driven culture.
We put the well-being of our people, owners, customers and communities first and are committed to making advancements in how we approach safety. We expect all employees to uphold safety standards across our operations. This includes complying with applicable laws, as well as our own policies and procedures, which often go beyond local laws and regulations.
We empower our employees to identify potential risks and stop work when they detect significant risks. We continue to increase our focus on health and safety, with additional resources, programs and education. In fiscal year 2024, we welcomed a new vice president of environment, health and safety to continue the development and implementation of an enterprise safety strategy and culture that support our ÐÓ°Épro values.
