This International Women's Day, Upfield proudly recognises the vital contributions of women across our company in driving our purpose to create "to make people healthier and happier with nutritious and delicious, natural, plant-based food that is good for you and for our planet". With a workforce powered by passionate, purposeful women, we're not just imagining a more sustainable and inclusive food system - we're building it.

Women hold 44% of management positions and above at Upfield. Across every function, from innovation to operations, Upfielders are stepping up as leaders to advance our business and impact. Our goal is 50% by 2030, and we're investing in mentorship, development programs, and our Upfield Women's Network to get there.

"Inspire Inclusion," the theme of IWD 2024, captures our mindset at Upfield. We strive to create a workplace where women don't just have a seat at the table, but a voice that's heard and valued. Our strong employee engagement score of 7.5/10 shows positive progress, but we know there's more work to do in fostering a culture where all women thrive.

This International Women's Day, we reaffirm our commitment to breaking down barriers, lifting up women's voices and talents, and embracing equity. Because a more inclusive food system is a better one for people and planet.

Happy International Women's Day!
