Culture

Founded as a single grain elevator in Iowa in 1865, Cargill now employs 158,000 people. Our employees speak more than 30 languages and live in 66 countries. What’s more, Cargill is a company that values differences. That means a culture that fosters respect, seeks new ideas, and encourages open and honest communication.

At Cargill, you’ll find a commitment to helping our customers – many of whom are among the best known in the world – succeed. We’re committed to being a true business partner, to helping our customers discover solutions that create distinctive value. It means being trustworthy, creative and enterprising. It means making sure things don’t go wrong – and taking responsibility when they do. It means operating ethically. In fact, ethical behavior is so ingrained in our culture that employees associate Cargill foremost with integrity.

You’ll also find a commitment to being a good corporate citizen. Part of that commitment is giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Each year, Cargill contributes more than $20 million – 2 percent of our global pre-tax earnings – to charities and community causes, and our employees donate their time and talents as well. We’ve also established Cargill Cares Councils, formalized groups of employees that coordinate volunteer programs, in more than 200 locations across Asia, Africa, Central America, Europe and North and South America.
