People & Rights

Human Rights
We conduct our business in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of all people. Kerry’s Global Human Rights Policy reflects our commitment to upholding internationally recognised Human Rights, as established in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation’s Core Conventions.
The Group’s Human Rights policy applies to all Kerry employees and also sets out our expectations of business and supply chain partners to conduct their business in a way that upholds the principles set out in the policy.
The use of child or forced labour is strictly prohibited across all our operations and facilities. We do not tolerate any form of unacceptable treatment of workers and we respect all laws establishing a minimum age for employment.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct is explicit in demanding that those who seek to do business with the Group uphold the rights of workers and expressly forbids the use of child labour, or forced or involuntary labour of any type. For more details on our approach, see our current Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement.
We also set out our position on pay, freedom of association, discrimination and diversity and we extend our standards on these and other labour issues into our supply chain, through our Supplier Code of Conduct. This code sets out the expectations we have of our key business and strategic supply chain partners. You can access our policy on Human Rights and details of some other relevant policies are outlined in brief below.
Learning & Development
At Kerry we aspire to develop a culture of high performance and are committed to helping colleagues grow and develop. We believe in people with big ideas and want to encourage learning opportunities.
Training or development needs are supported through the Kerry Learning Academy, which facilitates the provision of tailored and more general learning solutions across the organisation. These solutions include classroom, online and interactive content that provides instruction, stimulates discussion and encourages collaboration from structured graduate training through to leadership development programmes.
Working within each of our different functions and business areas we develop a series of career frameworks that offer step-by-step guidance for our people in developing a challenging and rewarding career within Kerry, aligned to their individual capabilities and interests.
