As a plant-based food source, potatoes are tasty and versatile. Our employees apply their expertise and passion to make the best potato products and to develop new plant-based alternatives. Safe, responsible and innovative.

E-learning helps increase awareness
Operator Bert Sebus: ‘I think it is wonderful that Aviko, the company where I have been employed for more than 40 years, strives to create a healthy planet and pleasant working conditions. I am very proud of that. Many of the things that I can contribute myself are self-evident, but I am much more aware of them since I completed the e-learning. I always make sure the light is switched off when I go home and try to come to work by bicycle as much as possible. Better for the environment and healthier for myself. As the one who is responsible for onboarding new production employees, I am happy to tell my new colleagues about our sustainability principles and activities.’
Safety always deserves attention
In the time to come we will be focusing heavily on increasing safety at all of our work locations throughout the world. We do so by handling risks by means of systematic risk assessments and by encouraging safety reports from the workplace. The resources we use to increase awareness include safety dialogues (talking to each other), movie reviews (analysing incidents together) and of course training and education. What is more, we have set up Safety Rooms as information and training areas. The number of lost-time accidents at Aviko decreased in 2023. This was unfortunately insufficient to realise our target.
Sustainability Challenge stimulates the formation of ideas
The more employees contribute their ideas and cooperate in sustainability improvement, the better. Aviko organised the first Sustainability Challenge in 2023. All employees were challenged to submit sustainability ideas. The challenge was a success. The winning idea was implemented: all employees received erasable, reusable, sustainable notebooks as a gift.
