Our business principles
We do business in a constructive way
Our Business Principles
The way we do business is vitally important to us. Not only to protect the reputation we have built over the years, but also to add long-term value to our stakeholders, the communities in which we operate and the environment we touch.
Our Business Principles provide general guidance for conducting business within and on behalf of the Royal De Heus Group. They apply to all our decisions, the way we operate and our individual behaviour. Every day, to everybody, in every job, in every country in which we operate. Applying these Business Principles will enable us to be successful in a responsible manner, to earn and to keep trust.
We expect and trust everyone at De Heus to be an ambassador for business integrity. Each and every one of us has a personal responsibility to do business in the right way, to interact with others in a respectful manner and to work in line with the standards that apply to us. This is an essential part of how we do business.
Doing business in a sustainable way
Realizing a sustainable food future will mean meeting the needs of a growing global population while avoiding further deforestation and biodiversity loss. It will also mean restoring abandoned and unproductive land in a way that helps stabilise the climate, promote economic development and reduce poverty.
