With Imagine Live I feel involved in the future. I feel that I can make a difference and contribute to the bigger picture. Sabine, Operations Management Trainee I was able to show how proud I am to be in a company that v a lu e s d ive r s it y. Olumide, Operations Manager Imagine was an invitation to inspire colleagues and to share ideas. One of the ways we did this was through Imagine Playlists, a simple way for employees to share material that has inspired them around our purpose: books, articles, podcasts, documentaries, films, music and more. We used simple tools to encourage new ways of doing things, ranging from small challenges which fostered new behaviours, such as having coffee with a colleague they didn’t know, to team conversation-starters about focus topics. Martha adds: “We know that purpose is a topic that many people are enthusiastic about, so we also invited people to join our community of Imagine Ambassadors. This was an opportunity to use their personal passions and creativity to spread the word and get others involved. We’re proud of our team of 150 Imagine Ambassadors and the connections and energy that they’ve created.” Imagine is designed to be accessible for every colleague, everywhere. It is flexible and adaptable for different timelines and formats. It has a digital home, an interactive space where people can engage and catch up as well as materials for those front-line workers whose roles are offline. We took the pivotal moment of COP26 to use the Imagine platform to engage our colleagues on our climate positivity journey. In the form of the first-ever all employee live townhall, CEO Gilles Andrier and other leaders from Givaudan shared why the climate topic is so important to each and everyone one of us, how at Givaudan we are working towards this goal and what each of us can do to contribute. For 2022 and beyond, we will continue to build on the energy created by Imagine deepening understanding of our purpose in action with a focus on strategic priorities at global level and locally relevant activities. “Our goal is to move towards our purpose being an intrinsic lens for decision making, actions and behaviours at every level of the business, with local ownership and global impact,” Martha concludes. Contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) We can only achieve our ambition to be a force for good if we all work together. When we shared our purpose of ‘Creating for happier, healthier lives’ with the world in 2019, it was a first step. To reach our potential we want to help every colleague to engage and to build a deep sense of community. Imagine is an invitation for all colleagues at Givaudan to come together to explore our purpose. In practice, that means helping people understand our purpose, ambitions and goals, and how they will drive business growth. To bring our purpose to life, it is critical that we share concrete examples and practical actions to help people see the links with their everyday roles and discover new ones. “Imagine is the result of collaboration of colleagues all over the world, and as the programme evolves we’ll find new ways to help us all live our purpose,” adds Martha. We took the opportunity of new, virtual ways of working to invite colleagues to co-create the programme. More than 150 employees took part in its development, suggesting stories, examples and different ways to bring our purpose to life. By running the programme on a virtual platform we had the advantage that more people could attend, bringing together colleagues from all countries and roles. The virtual approach also allowed us to cross language barriers, translating the content into the 18 most commonly spoken languages at Givaudan.
