Materiality analysisG O O D VA L L E Y

During the 2019 review of our CSR strategy, we performed a materiality analysis among our internal and external stakeholders with the aim to identify, assess and prioritise Goodvalley’s most important CSR issues. The results of the analysis provided both the basis for a new CSR strategy and a platform to update the strategy regularly going forward. It is the intention to review the analysis every year to make sure that we are constantly improving and developing on all parametres. F A I R P L A Y W O R K F O O D C L I M A T E

Case: Global GAP for better welfare

F O O D – A N I M A L W E L F A R E

A perfect matchAt some point I stopped considering GLOBAL G.A.P. as a standard or control institution. Now I am completely confi-dent, that it’s a philosophy.It’s a philosophy of modern farming and a handbook for every farmer or owner of an agricultural business.It is simply about doing agribusiness the right way with controlled practices and high standards. Animal welfare is like a clear line which goes through most compliance criteria within GLOBAL G.A.P. So by being a member, you will automatically be liv-ing up to the highest standard of animal welfare. However, the add-on is the result of Goodvalley putting even more emphasis on the importance of animal welfare.The requirements range from pigs housing, stocking density/space al-lowances, ventilation and air quality, bedding, flooring of the pens, enriched environment as well as health related topicssuch as tail docking, castration, herd health control, sick pens, policy

on euthanasia, ending with the loading and transport all the way to a slaugh-terhouse or customers.Improved animal welfare according to GLOBAL G.A.P. Livestock Standards helps enforce the policy of antimicrobial reduction in livestock production and contributes to the prevention and reduc-tion of antimicrobial resistance. Animal welfare is important for a number of reasons: It is an important factor for the health of livestock, which in return con-tributes to food safety.

Since 2017 Goodvalley has beenacertifiedmemberofGLOBALG.A.P.,followingthehigest production standards to guarantee the quality of our products. Last year GLOBAL G.A.P. introduced the Animal Welfareadd-on,whichisacertificationusedtocontroland verify the level of animal welfareintheproduction.Theadd-onwasimplementedinGoodvalley by our GLOBAL G.A.P. coordinators led by Sergiy Pokhyla:

Our team of Global Gap coordinators

Many countries do not address animal welfare in their national laws regulat-ing agriculture. So for us in Goodvalley it is extremely important to harmonize our operational standards in all coun-tries where we operate to have a com-mon understanding and best production practice regarding animal welfare. We see GLOBAL G.A.P. as the perfect match for our high ambitions and standards in this field.

From translator to LEAN Specialist

I started working as a translator in the construction department, quickly real-ising that there was room for me to try out other paths within Goodvalley. The international aspect of the organisation appealed to me and I saw huge possi-bilities to educate myself even more. During a couple of years I attended sev-eral internal courses, among these the GMC course (Goodvalley Management Course) where you learn everything about the history and values of the com-pany as well as getting an understand-ing of how you can create an organi-sation based on a management style that actually motivates and encourages employees.

From then on, I started working as an assistant in the HR department and eventually I was promoted to HR manager. HR and organisational devel-opment is a big priority in Goodvalley making sure that people are heard and seen – this is how talents and motivated employees are being spotted and guided

in the right direction. I expressed a wish to work even more with LEAN which has become a valuable tool in the organisa-tion. So, in February 2019 I began on the LEAN practitioner course and in June I passed the final exam with the project “Increasing the sale of 1st category slaughter pigs in Goodvalley pig pro-duction”. Since the summer I have been working as a LEAN specialist improving processes across our organisation by applying LEAN tools.

My story in Goodvalley is far from unique. Many of my colleagues can tell similar stories about how they have advanced within the organisation and received both encouragement and sup-port all the way. Here we are equal and always provided equal opportunities.

However, things are developing and improving, and I hope that I can inspire other young women to get an education and show companies how valuable it is to have a balanced gender representation in an organisation.In Goodvalley, we will without a doubt continue to spot, educate and promote talent based on their competencies– not gender.
