Social responsibility

Growing and developing together

Every two years, Adisseo organizes a global internal survey, “Adisseo & I”, among its employees to assess their satisfaction and commitment. The 2022 survey, conducted at the end of the Covid pandemic crisis, shows a high sustainable employee commitment rate (77% vs 76% in 2020) compared to similar industry benchmark.

This high level of commitment of our employees shows that following the Covid pandemic, Adisseo has succeeded in setting up a hybrid (office / home office) work organization. This new work organization is the result of the adaptability and experience acquired by its employees and is a long-term solution.

It harmoniously integrates the operational needs and aspirations of employees in terms of well-being and commitment to work.

The “Training & Development” and “Working Conditions & Wellbeing” categories have made further progress, demonstrating Adisseo’s ability to create long-term commitment from its employees.

In 2024, a new “Adisseo & I” survey will help measure progress in the fields pointed as improvement areas by the employees and towards the co-construction of a sustainable company.

Contributing to the social development of communities

We have implemented a corporate social responsibility program named “WeCare”.

WeCare Volunteers Team aims to share and incentive mainly local initiatives but also in some cases transnational projects bring visibility and fostering the voluntary societal initiatives at Adisseo.

The result should benefit people on our surrounding communities and at the same time being aligned and coherent with our values, behaviors and company’s mission.

This program’s engagement is focused mainly on the fight against malnutrition and the improvement of life quality and Adisseo’s 2023 initiatives were:

• Food supply and feed supply fighting against hunger
• Increase poverty alleviation and assist on community development
• Improvement of community quality through education assistance, including financial contributions for scholarships, book donation, coaching for job interviews, help to insert people at risk of exclusion into the labor market, World Reading Day
• Food collection and Food Bank
• Blood Donation Campaigns and Blood Bank needs awareness
• Support to NGOs to pay for children/infantile milk (France & Brazil)
• E-commerce poverty alleviation (China)
• Stimulus on local purchasing

People development and training strategy

Adisseo’s learning and training strategy extends to all areas and is aimed at all employees; these are directly linked to the needs of the business. Adisseo is developing a learning culture by continually expanding learning opportunities. Our employees’ development paths are built to help them navigate in a highly uncertain environment, which demands a capacity of resilience, empathy and attentiveness, adaptability, transparency, and intuition.

As part of our ambitions to develop key skills, we invest in employee training, for all, to meet business needs: 2% of the total payroll is dedicated to training each year.

60% of the employees had a performance review, 25% of employees had an IDP in 2023

To strengthen, develop and pass on key competences (mainly scientific, technical, and soft skills) to secure our business in the medium to long term, we have decided to invest in a Digital Learning platform (named “Weconnect Digital Learning”) from 2022 onwards. The using of this digital learning platform has enabled us to reinforce and develop the in-house training made internally (by referent content designers named Ambassadors) and to propose off-the-shelf training.

Since 2023, Adisseo employees benefit from:

• A digital learning platform linked with the Individual Development Plans (IDP),
• Embedded digital learning programs such as Sales academy modules, Cybersecurity, Leadership,
• Home-made learning programs suited for Adisseo specific needs,
• Off-the-shelf training on several items.
