Our Approach
Our Approach

Bunge’s operating model is based on integrated but decentralized operations and a strong culture built on shared values and a common purpose. Our approach enables us to interpret a global market with global vision; to meet opportunity where and when it arises with agility and responsiveness; and provide superior products and service to farmers, customers and consumers around the world. 

Maintaining integrated but decentralized operations means striking a balance between the efficiency of a global corporation and the speed of a local business, between the value of a world perspective and the insights and customer relationships born of local knowledge and experience.

That is why we emphasize our purpose – enhancing lives by improving the agribusiness and food production – and our values. Our purpose ensures we are aligned and moving in a common direction. Our values ensure the communication and trust necessary for a network of businesses to operate with latitude and individual initiative and leadership, while each contributing to the same goal.


Our approach is built upon a set of core values. Taken together, these values define an organization that believes in:

making decisions at the local level, where understanding of the marketplace is greatest and efficiency easiest to achieve;
improving service by building lasting relationships with customers in their own language and customs;
motivating entrepreneurial employees toward common goals rather than directing them from the top down; and
engendering a sense of commitment and openness.
