Employees

Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today

Each of our 60,000 people helps to make us the organization we are. But how do we make sure they get us to where we want to be?

We make an effort to attract the best and brightest recruits. But even the most talented person wouldn’t get the job if they didn’t share our values and principles.

We believe in:

  • Focusing on our customers’ future first. We’re all committed to giving our customers products, solutions and services that improve their future.
  • Embracing entrepreneurial thinking. We create an environment where people with new ideas are encouraged and supported.
  • Developing the talents of our people. Because we want them to grow their talents, develop new skills and advance within the company.
  • The courage and curiosity to question. We want everyone at AkzoNobel to constantly question the way we work, and the way in which the world works.
  • Integrity and responsibility in our actions. We expect everyone to be aware of compliance and regulations – and to do things the right way, as individuals and as a company.

 
Treating everyone fairly

We’ll never discriminate on the basis of race, ethnic background, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. We want our workforce to reflect the societies we operate in. Regardless of what they do and where they’re based, all our employees can expect fair and equitable treatment from the company.
