Caring for our people
We provide a place where everyone feels welcome, valued and inspired, and offer growth opportunities for all our employees.
Our approximately 12,000 employees throughout the entire Emmi Group are an integral part of our sustainability model. Only together we are 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 atmosphere 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 fill 50% of all open positions internally and 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. For this reason, all employees should have a development plan by 2027 and be continuously developed with a variety of attractive measures.
As a company, we hope that this will give us access to a pool of skilled labour. Emmi wants to be able to fill half of its vacancies with internal candidates by 2027.
> Support for the UN Sustainable Development Goals
At the end of 2024, 68% (57% in the previous year) of our employees across the Group had a development plan, with all divisions making significant progress. This positive development in terms of target achievement is attributed to the significantly increased presence and continuous addressing of "development" in everyday working life, the increased management focus and emphasis on the relevance of the topic, numerous Group-wide and locally offered training and learning opportunities as well as the Talent & Succession Management process supported and structured by HR.
Group-wide, 26% of vacancies at Emmi were filled internally in 2024, unchanged from the previous year. In order to increase the proportion of internal hires, Emmi will strengthen its succession management in 2025 by actively tracking internal talent and further expanding talent pools.
