Combining results and value-sharing: there’s nothing contradictory about that
Because our profits are redistributed to the sector, we evolve, grow and perform in the long term. With common ambitions, we support the food, agricultural and environmental transitions. We share our knowledge, our efforts and our pride.

As value sharing is ingrained in the Group and it is fundamental for us to reward collective successes, we have set up an employee shareholding program. Wherever legally possible, our employees can become Avril shareholders via our company savings scheme.
Believing that the success of a group depends on the efforts of its individual members: there’s nothing illogical about that
At Avril, our talents work together and complement each other. From seed to plate, our businesses are varied and our successes collective. We work hand in hand, supported by each other’s efforts, to improve our performance and together meet the expectations of the agricultural sector and of society as a whole.

TOGETHER, WE ARE MOVING INCLUSION FORWARD
Do you think diversity and differences are a strength? We’re convinced they are. We give everyone the opportunity to thrive and nourish the collective with their personality, expertise, ideas and experiences.
To ensure that everyone understands what role they can play, we are implementing a growing number of actions through inclusion programs and disability training, on top of the e-learning modules which everyone can access and awareness-raising activities, to make all the subjects visible and talk about them all year round.
FOR A WELCOMING WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
To bring this inclusive environment to life, we facilitate your integration by offering you a suitable position if you are disabled, additional leave for caregivers, and recruitment without a resume in certain sectors.
We have signed an International Charter for Disability Inclusion. And, on a day-to-day basis, we take specific measures, such as raising awareness among the collective, providing support in the procedure for recognition as a disabled worker, initiatives for recruitment and job retention, and partnerships with local organizations. A dedicated Mission Handicap team is in direct contact with employees to support them throughout their careers.
Innovating with boldness, moving forward with humility: there’s nothing foolish about that
The values of respect, boldness and performance drive our pioneering spirit, whether it’s the development of sustainable fuels, the decarbonization of our breeding farms or the many opportunities offered by plant protein. Here, with you and our 7,500 employees, we are inventing tomorrow. With boldness and humility.
Acting for ourselves, acting for others, acting to Serve the Earth: that’s what we do every day
Develop your skills, help meet the challenges of tomorrow and affirm your values. To ensure that our employees are truly and collectively engaged, we create a responsible environment in which everyone can express themselves, make suggestions and do their bit to serve the earth. With committed programs and partnerships, we act in the service of a mission that has remained unchanged since our creation over 40 years ago: to feed people, feed animals and preserve the planet.
Zero Injuries target
Joining Avril, means becoming part of a Group that makes the development, safety and inclusion of all its employees one of its top priorities. By listening carefully to its employees and their needs, Avril is making a winning bet on well-being at work for all its teams and placing employee safety at the heart of performance.
The WeCare program aims to accelerate the development of a culture of safety at all levels of the company. It concerns both managers and all employees by involving them on a daily basis in the reporting of risk alerts and in the roll-out of area audits. At the same time, the Group is implementing new safety tools and setting up dedicated operational committees at each site, as well as industrial audits.
The EQUILIBRE program, new flexibility measures
These measures are the sign of a strong conviction: our collective success depends on the balance between our employees’ personal and professional fulfillment:
- Do you have a personal project? You can take a 3-month break to complete it.
- A cause close to your heart? Our commitment leave is 5 days a year for a voluntary activity in line with the commitments of our purpose.
- Are you an employee who is also a caregiver? You get 8 extra days of leave and access to a hotline for help and support.
- And, if your position allows it, you can also work from home for up to 2 days a week, with an additional 2 full weeks of remote working every year.
