With the heritage of over 100 years of development in the animal nutrition sector, De Heus strives each day towards creating better access to safe and healthy food for a growing world population. We cannot achieve this alone without our customers, partners, and our engaged employees. At De Heus, we would like to offer our employees the unique company culture where we value winning mentality, entrepreneurial mindset, and open communication; where we put our customers at the center, where we learn from each other for development and for the success and winning of the whole organization.

We commit to add value to the communities in which we operate. Our signature Shape Your Own Future Program (SYOF) initiated since 2017 till now has been a great example of how we develop and nurture fresh graduates together with key universities in agriculture, put them through practical internship in a professional working environment, give them real business challenges to develop and have great chances to be a part of De Heus.
Co & Koen De Heus, CEO's De Heus Animal Nutrition
“We invest in developing talents and create a culture of continuous learning and development”. In a rapidly growing organisation, our employees make the difference in helping us achieve our strategy. We therefore invest in developing our talents and create a culture of continuous learning and development, whatever their roles.
Our state-of-the-art Talent Suite provides a variety of training programmes customised to our employees' needs. We also organise global development programmes such as our Feed Academy and De Heus Business School, where employees have ample opportunities to learn, grow and collaborate with their peers across the world. We create an inspiring working environment in which our talents can develop and fulfil their potential.
We achieve this with involved and entrepreneurial employees, who continue to develop themselves. In 2021, De Heus conducted its first global employee survey, involving De Heus global head office and 18 business units/countries. “This extensive scope allowed us to identify where things are going well and indicated where there’s room for improvement, down to team level in every country.” All employees within De Heus were asked to fill in a questionnaire related to commitment, engagement, satisfaction, employership, customer focus, leadership & efficiency. “From factory workers, farm specialists and feed formulators to purchasers, finance managers and senior directors.” This global approach delivered employee feedback from all levels within the company and valuable information for global management, but even more so for the business units and teams.
“Every day, we work towards creating better access to safe and healthy food for a growing world population. We do so by providing our customers with the products and services they need to look after their animals and manage the sustainable development of their businesses.”
Over the past two years, De Heus has taken significant steps in identifying its global contribution to the sustainable development of food production. A pivotal moment was the launch of Responsible Feeding, our global sustainability programme, in 2020. The aim was to help business units establish which goals and activities generate value and impact in their local markets and communities. Responsible Feeding is designed around four pillars that cover De Heus’ activities and our position in the food production supply chains in which we operate: Feed for Food, Sustainable Supply Chain, Fostering Communities and Thriving Employees.
Despite the COVID-19 restrictions, we were able to roll out Responsible Feeding in most of De Heus’ business units during online workshops in that same year. This received an enthusiastic response and was answered with a drive to define the meaning of sustainability within our company in a global context. De Heus business units pressed for global ambitions to shape the direction in which the company is moving.

De Heus business units pressed for global ambitions to shape the direction in which the company is moving.
This momentum led to De Heus’ first Global Sustainability Summit in March 2021. This four-day virtual summit facilitated an open dialogue between colleagues from the Group and the local business units about the four most pressing sustainability challenges associated with livestock production: the reduction of antibiotics, the sustainability of soy, the ability to reduce our carbon footprint, and our efforts to help local farmers develop their business. Colleagues exchanged local perspectives, set priorities and identified opportunities to collectively approach these challenges. Together with Co and Koen de Heus, CEOs of De Heus Animal Nutrition, they formulated four Global Green Goals: our answer to the biggest sustainability challenges in the feed industry right now.
