There’s the field where farmers use our machines. And then there’s the field of agricultural equipment makers like AGCO...And figuratively speaking, we’re doing everything we can to un-level it.
“For the farmers. For the people working for them. For ourselves. For the future.”
At AGCO, we believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We encourage people to share their cultural identities. We celebrate our differences.
Recent events have brought forward powerful and often difficult conversations. We ask that you engage in these conversations with an open and sincere mind, based on a foundation of transparency and respect. We will do the same.
We believe in overcoming challenges as OneAGCO team, and we hope that transparent communication about racism will lead to systemic change in the future. Change starts from within, and we are asking more and better questions to understand our own impact and the actions we can take to be stronger allies.
Helping farmers feed the world is a key part of our vision, and we partner with farmers in every region to secure the human right to food for all people. Aligning with our vision, we endorse partners that contribute to food security and support sustainable agriculture.
Our core values of transparency, respect, accountability, integrity and team spirit are an important part of who we are as an organization. In this moment, we are being asked to demonstrate those values and do more to fight systemic racism and discrimination in our global communities. Public words and intentions are a start, and we are committed to doing more to help secure a better future for everyone.
We hear you. We value you. We support you.
