“The way to ignite innovation across the board is to continue to build a culture where people value differences of opinion, differences of thought processes, and differences of approaches to problem solving.”
      Willard – Minneapolis, U.S. 

Embracing differences and making connections 

At the heart of Cargill’s culture is the desire to embrace our differences and make connections — not just down the hall or around the corner, but also across business units and around the globe — so that each employee can reach their full potential. 

Employees associate us most with integrity 

Ethics and integrity is the foundation of our nearly 150 years of existence. Ethical behavior, in fact, is so ingrained in our culture that employees associate Cargill most with integrity. We have identified key qualities and capabilities that we look for and expect in all employees — integrity is one of the characteristics. For an introduction, read through our Guiding Principles. 

Many of our employees have chosen to stay with us to build their careers. That’s because they have found a place where ideas are heard and opportunities are endless.
