Value Awards 2022 Barry Callebaut Barcelona

Here are the winners of the Value Awards 2022!

This year saw the Value Awards being presented at the Casa Llotja - one of the most emblematic spaces in the city of Barcelona. The Awards recognize our colleagues who, in the past fiscal year have gone above and beyond their daily activities, living our corporate values and celebrate customer focus, entrepreneurship, team spirit, integrity and passion. Each of our values are powerful in their own right, and together are a solid base and guidance for everything that we do.
The Value Awards are celebrating our five corporate values which bind each and everyone of us together as a team, globally, regardless of where we are located. Each year we celebrate colleagues who have truly stood out in embodying a particular value.
