As part of our ongoing efforts to create a culture of sustainability within our manufacturing operations, our team launched 'Small Acts Matter'. The program focuses on engaging, educating, and empowering our people to contribute and act on ideas, no matter how big or small. It underscores the shared responsibility for sustainability and the significance of small actions in minimising Kerry’s environmental impact.   Initially introduced in our manufacturing site in Tampoi, Malaysia, and later in Hammarsdale, South Africa, we have recently expanded the program to Nantong, China, as part of our regional energy efficiency initiatives. Thank you Jiraphat thansandose and Daniel Campion for leading the way!   Dive deeper into our sustainability journey in the latest Kerry Sustainability Report: https://lnkd.in/gQVzfBkE #Sustainability #wearekerry #KerryAPMEA David Barrett Adrian Feeney Tan Peh Lim Paddy Fahey Jairaj Bachen Roy Hu

While in Dubai recently, I had the privilege of sharing a communal iftar meal with our incredible team. It was powerful to see everyone come together and connect while immersing in the culture of Ramadan. Moments like these remind me of the richness diversity brings to our collective experience, and the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where every culture is respected. It was a great experience, and I extend my gratitude to the team for welcoming me into this cherished tradition. Kerry #wearekerry #ramadan

Great role and opportunity to gain valuable experience with Food industry Asia

Last Friday, we hosted the Irish Chamber of Commerce, Singapore community at our Singapore office. It was a great way for us to share our taste trends for Southeast Asia and delve into the world of sensory taste, while creating space for meaningful discussions. Thank you to the Kerry team behind the event and Irish Chamber of Commerce for the collaboration! 

Based out of Asia the past 4 years, I've had the chance to try many new flavours. Gochujang, a Korean chilli paste, and Mint Chutney are standouts – which according to our Taste Charts, also happens to be two of the fastest growing savoury flavours across the continent. For the past 10 years, we have had a talented team of experts behind the Taste Charts, curating an insight-rich overview of the world's most influential taste experiences. And this year is no different. The 2024 Taste Charts bring together a wealth of expertise from data analysis behind global culinary trends, ensuring your future food and beverage creations have that competitive edge in the market. I am happy to share our 2024 Kerry Taste Charts: https://lnkd.in/gKc26Vzh #FoodandBeverage #FoodTrends #Taste #TasteCharts2024 #Kerry

With night calls and travel, I struggle to get a full 7 hours of quality sleep each night. The recent research provided by the Kerry Health and Nutrition Institute reflects a strong connection between stress and effective sleep management. More and more consumers are heading towards self-care practices that manage stress and anxiety through management tools, herbal supplements, and mindfulness practices.   Another trend is personalised nutrition, signifying a paradigm shift – a recognition that one size does not fit all on our unique wellness journeys. Solutions backed by scientific rationale are in demand, which will help us all enable a more effective approach to human health.    Health and Nutrition remains at the forefront of our customers' and consumers' minds and the trends are exciting. KHNI’s annual top 10 key trends for 2024 unveils a fascinating journey of the landscape of the global food system moving forward, and the move towards conscious consumption.    https://lnkd.in/gJb4tk8Q   #HealthandNutrition #SustainableNutrition #KerryAPMEA #KHNI #Kerry #Sustainability 

2023 has been a journey filled with challenges, wins, and most importantly, unwavering dedication from our team.    I continue to emphasise the importance of understanding the distinction between external factors affecting our business landscape and the exceptional work our team delivers day in and day out. In the wake of global uncertainties, it has become increasingly evident that some factors lie beyond our control. However, it was during these uncertain times that the team showcased solidarity and the perseverance to embrace these challenges and turn them into opportunities. Addressing the team during site visits from New Zealand to Tanzania, I had the pleasure to witness first-hand the resilience and unity of our people. The phrase "control the controllable" resonates strongly with me, serving as a guiding principle throughout the year.   "Control the controllable" is a mindset that empowers us to focus on what we can influence – our dedication, innovation, and collaboration within our organisation. As we move into a new year, let's carry this mindset forward, continuing to acknowledge the incredible work of our people, recognising that external factors may impact the environment in which we operate, but they don't diminish the value of our efforts. Instead, we take on these challenges as opportunities for growth.   Let's control the controllable and continue to make a positive impact, together. #ControltheControllable #PositiveMindset #Reflection #KerryAPMEA

Celebrating 3 Years of Excellence: The APMEA Excellence Awards   I am absolutely thrilled to share the results of our third annual APMEA Excellence Awards program. This program has been a true testament to our employees' unwavering commitment to sharing and celebrating the exceptional work happening across our Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa region. We received 149 team submissions that went through multiple rounds of assessment before we revealed the winners at our final event last week.   The recent final event was a tremendous milestone, uniting over 800 participants from 20+ countries to come together and celebrate their colleagues' outstanding achievements. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by our regional team was truly inspiring. I want to extend my warmest congratulations to all the winners for the 6 award categories, who have set the bar high for excellence and innovation.
