Innovation is our way forward! 🚀💡 Last week, our top 200 leaders from across the globe came together in Brussels for our Managers Conference — and what an energizing experience it was! Over three unforgettable days, we shared ideas, challenged boundaries, presented and co-created the future of Barry Callebaut. The central theme: innovation — in everything we do. Across our whole customer experience - from product excellence to service and sustainability - innovation is the heartbeat that will shape how we help our customers and their brands craft truly unforgettable chocolate experiences. A highlight of the week was our visit to Wieze — the world’s largest chocolate factory and the birthplace of our global Callebaut brand. There, our teams saw how we’re bringing the future to life: from cutting-edge investments in our operations to a unique and breakthrough innovation pipeline, all made tangible through the creativity of our Callebaut Chocolate Academy chefs. A big thank you to everyone who made this event such a success — especially our organizing team, whose passion turned those three days into an unforgettable and pivotal moment for our people, company and customers. The future tastes like innovation. And we’re just getting started. 🍫✨ #BarryCallebaut #Innovation #Leadership #CustomerExperience #Callebaut
