Personal responsibility
At Cargill, we believe all employees are responsible for contributing to the success of our food safety system. We empower them to bring forward ideas that can improve our efforts and to take action when they see a problem in our operations that could compromise food safety.
We strive to ensure that every Cargill employee is provided the training necessary to understand our food safety policies and practices and their role in food safety. In addition, food safety is every Cargill leader’s responsibility:
- Cargill corporate and operational managers are required to respond to employees’ food safety concerns in a timely manner and to listen to ideas for improving our system.
- Leaders at all levels are responsible for helping create a culture of food safety across Cargill.
- Our senior leadership team provides operational managers with the resources required to maintain a robust food safety system and to comply fully with food safety standards and expectations set by the company, regulators and customers.
