JOIN A MISSION
FULL OF PASSION

We know that passionate people working for responsible companies can change the world. For more than 170 years, our people have innovated, developed and delivered yeast and fermentation products that help to feed people, spread happiness and promote healthy living across more than 180 nations.

OUR PASSION FOR A TRULY SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

We deliver a whole range of truly sustainable natural products through environmentally conscious processes. Each of our core businesses helps to create a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone by reducing salt, sugar, antibiotics, artificial flavors, pesticides or fossil fuels.

OUR PASSION FOR THE INFINITE POTENTIEL OF NATURE

Since 1853, our team has been devoted to uncovering all the ways in which microorganisms and fermentation can benefit humanity. This is the never-ending story that pushes us to be better day after day; empowered by our teams’ passion, expertise and commitment.

OUR PASSION FOR COLLABORATION

We are committed to building the Lesaffre of tomorrow by working closely with our external partners. We are at the heart of an ecosystem that brings together all kinds of organisations, professions, skills and stakeholders.

make a personal impact

We offer individual impact on a global scale. As a business, we are big enough to genuinely change the world for the better. Yet we organise our business into small, agile entrepreneurial teams who stay close to their markets and regions. So we truly empower our people to constantly reinvent the way we do things.

LEARNING WITH IMPACT

Lesaffre’s University plays a leading role in developing our people and acting as a springboard for innovative thinking and sustainable impact across the Group. 

TEAMS WITH IMPACT

Our highly networked but decentralized organisation contains more than 80 subsidiaries operating as agile, entrepreneurial SMEs and 10 autonomous business units that explore the different potential uses for fermentation.

PEOPLE WITH IMPACT

We build our strategy from the bottom up, ensuring that the people who know our customers and understand our markets lead the way.

It also plays a key role in bringing our people together through networking; promoting a common approach based on pragmatism, proximity and cooperation.
