Their insights help us develop the next generation of varieties that deliver greater performance, quality, and value.

By working with Culture Amp-Amp.     The objective was ambitious: to create a meaningful process for our teams across Limagrain. That meant taking into account our different cultures, languages, and ways of working.     A team of around 20 representatives from across the organization worked together to define the approach, align on the survey philosophy, and build a process that could work for everyone 🌍 Together, they found the right balance between a shared framework and local specificities. With 80% of the questions common across the group and 20% specific to each business unit, the survey provided both a global view and a deeper understanding of local realities.     Culture Amp supported us throughout the process:   - Designing relevant questions, leveraging its expertise in organizational psychology;   - Administering the survey in multiple languages;  - Analyzing results and helping managers interpret feedback.     🏆 The success of this project came from the collective work happening behind the scenes.   HR supported our leaders in understanding the results. Then, action plans were developed at different levels:  - Group leadership: defining global priorities;  - Functions: identifying actions linked to their specific challenges;  - Local teams: focusing on engagement and well-being through concrete initiatives.     💪 The level of participation reflects the commitment of our teams:   - 93% of employees took part in the survey, exceeding our ambitious 90% target;  - 91% of managers shared their results, and 96% defined and documented action plans.     Beyond the figures, this survey gives us a better understanding of our teams’ experiences and helps us turn feedback into action, closer to the field.     We will share more about the actions we are taking in the coming weeks!     #EngagementSurvey #CompanyOfChoice #CultivatingCollaboration #Limagrain

For the past nine years, our plant teams have hosted the event and helped organize the meal—a big thank you to them for keeping this tradition alive 🙏   The meal was prepared by HM Cook, our company restaurant. Congratulations to the chefs—it was delicious!    🥰 This gathering provides a unique opportunity for colleagues from across the business—including the plant, laboratories, and offices—to spend quality time together outside of their daily work routines.    We firmly believe that moments like these help strengthen team spirit, foster collaboration, and reinforce a strong sense of belonging across the company.    #Agriculture #HMCLAUSE #CompanyOfChoice #CultivatingCollaboration   

🌱 Our biggest challenge? Managing process complexities in a demanding environment shaped by stringent regulations, as well as geopolitical and climate-related constraints. Everything impacts everything else. So how do we manage performance effectively? Let’s take our supply chain as an example.    At HM.CLAUSE, 800 people work together across the entire supply chain—from production sourcing and transformation to transportation, quality control, and delivery to our customers.    Our supply chain brings together a wide range of techniques, technologies, and professions. To succeed, we must ensure that:  📢 Performance processes are consistently applied, shared, and coordinated across all supply chain departments;  📊 Decisions are made with a common purpose in mind: managing our supply chain based on data, not assumptions.    “All our efforts are driven by a simple conviction: farmers deserve the very best. Data gives us the clarity that we need to act. By monitoring the right KPIs through our scorecards, we transform complexity into actionable insights. This approach allows our teams to react earlier, align faster, and continually improve the way we serve the business and our customers. It truly takes a team effort.”   Edouard Baud — Global Data and Performance Manager    Can we take you on a tour?    #Agriculture #Seeds #HMCLAUSE #CompanyOfChoice #SupplyChain #KPI

🤝 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲    From June 9 to 18, colleagues in France came together to organize a food donation drive in support of Les Restos du Cœur 🩷, a French charity that provides food assistance and support to people facing difficult circumstances   Following an annual charity event held in March, several team members wanted to extend this commitment through a new initiative—this time directly within the company.    As Catherine CHAUMULON explains: "We wanted everyone at Porte-lès-Valence and Maninet to be able to participate if they wished, so it had to be as simple and accessible as possible."    With support from the CSR and Communications teams, collection points were set up and made accessible to colleagues across the administration offices, laboratories, and production facilities. The initiative was widely shared across the sites, ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to contribute.    At the end of the 10-day collection, on June 19, Les Restos du Cœur collected seven boxes of donations, representing 60 kg (130 lbs) of food and essential products. Donations included canned goods, rice, pasta, dried beans, jam, fruit compote, sugar, flour, coffee, chocolate, baby diapers, and hygiene products for all ages.    This initiative builds on previous solidarity actions, including the toy collection organized last Christmas for the same association. While the company already had ties with Les Restos du Cœur, this was the first time a food drive had been organized directly on-site 🫶   Following the success of this first edition, the teams are already looking forward to renewing the initiative alongside the association's major annual collection.  A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this effort a success. 💚    #HMCLAUSE #Solidarity #TeamSpirit #CommunityEngagement #CultivatingCollaboration #CompanyOfChoice

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿? 🌶️ That question came up again and again as hundreds of children stopped by our booth at the 14th annual Farm Connection Day in Yolo County, California. On May 1st, more than 1,700 students — from kindergarten through 4th grade — spent the day discovering agriculture through hands-on activities and demonstrations. Around them, volunteers, teachers, FFA students, and local organizations worked together to turn learning into something tangible. For the second year in a row, HM.CLAUSE was a sponsor of the event. Twenty-one volunteers from across our teams — Breeding, R&D, HR, Production, T&T, Finance — came together with a shared goal: helping young students connect with agriculture in a simple, memorable way.  At our booth, children planted seedlings, learned how crops grow, and discovered the life cycle of vegetables.  We donated more than 3,000 tomato and pepper plants… and answered that logical question several times: "Can I make salsa with tomatoes and peppers?". Each student chose a tomato plant, a pepper plant, or both, and left with something to care for at home. Beyond the activities themselves, Farm Connection Day gives children the opportunity to discover where food comes from, meet people working in agriculture, and experience farming through direct interaction. Some children — and even a few teachers — recognized us from last year. Those moments remind us why showing up matters! Thank you to the Yolo County Farm Bureau, the 4-H Spring Show, the FFA students, and all the volunteers who made this day possible.  And a special thank you to our HM.CLAUSE team members who helped bring agriculture to life for the next generation:     🙋 Our Breeding team: Marcio Pais de Arruda, Karl Kunze, Joseph Jacobs, Bryan Arreola, Tony Reda  🙋 Our HR team: Melissa Massotti, Fallon Griffin, Sunshine Tamayo, Trinity Ponce  🙋 Our T&T team: Michelle MA  🙋 Our Production team: Daniel Woodward, Victor Perez, Alejandra Osorio, Angela Alardo, Kalina Weaver   🙋 Our R&D teams: Keith Walker, John Chiles, Lisa McDaniel, Ariadne Lopez, Lemuelle Quemado, Sylvia Batula  🙋 Our legal team: Martin Ruano, Monica Briggs  🙋 Our finance team: Justine Bonifacio    Plus, our Marketing & Communication team provided the signage: thanks to Lauren Frye and Tania Ramirez!
