Caring for our people
We provide a place where everyone feels welcome, valued and inspired, and offer growth opportunities for all our employees.
Our roughly 12,800 employees throughout the entire Emmi Group are an integral part of our sustainability model. Only together will we be able to fulfil our purpose of “the best dairy moments – today and for generations to come”.
A strong and unifying corporate culture is just as important as a safe and healthy working environment and attractive development opportunities. That is why we promote a diverse and open working environment in which all ideas are welcome and a broad exchange takes place.
In addition, we take our responsibility as an employer seriously by making sure all our employees have a development plan in place, so that they can safeguard and even enhance their employability.
Our 2027 target
We want to fill 50% of all open positions internally and want to ensure that 100% of our employees have a development plan in place.
Our employees’ skills and knowledge are some of our most important resources. In a constantly changing environment shaped by swift advances in technology, we want to ensure our employees are equipped with the right skills. That is why all of our employees should have a development plan in place by 2027 and be undertaking ongoing further training, courtesy of a diverse array of appealing programmes.
As a company, we hope this will grant us access to a pool of qualified specialists. Emmi therefore aims to be in a position to fill half of its vacancies with internal candidates by 2027.

Excellent Leadership
Since 2012, we have been investing in a uniform understanding of leadership and targeted leadership development programs. With the Excellent Leadership initiative launched in 2018, Emmi offers tailored leadership training across the Group using an approach consisting of independent learning modules and exchange formats. Managers play a key role: They develop employees, recognise potential, plan personnel with foresight and create a culture in which employees thrive and shape the future of the Emmi Group.
Talent and Succession Management
As part of the initiative Talent & Succession Management (TSM), we manage talent development and succession planning systematically and proactively. Throughout the Group, high-potential individuals and key positions are to be identified, succession solutions planned and development paths defined. The aim is to build up and secure key competencies for today and tomorrow in a targeted manner.
At the end of 2025, 74 % (68 % in the previous year) of employees throughout the Group had a development plan in place.
