Where differences are celebrated

At Syngenta, we champion diversity, equity, and inclusion to foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to make a meaningful contribution. By combining world-class talent from diverse backgrounds, we make bold discoveries and find new ways to make an impact on feeding the world and improving our planet.

Just as biodiversity strengthens ecosystems, human diversity powers innovation and progress. With operations in over 98 countries, our strength lies in the richness of our people—their cultures, experiences, and perspectives. By recognizing and celebrating each employee's unique background and lived experiences, we unlock innovation, elevate performance, and create lasting business value.

Our mission demands diverse thinking. We're harnessing technology to reimagine the future of food, and we need the brightest minds from every background to make this happen. Our teams of engineers, agronomists, data scientists, and digital pioneers bring distinct perspectives to solve some of the world's most complex challenges in food security and sustainability.

If you're driven by curiosity, inspired by impact, and ready to shape the technologies that will feed the future, you'll thrive here.

Built on innovation, inclusion, and sustainability, our pillars shape the way we lead the transformation of global food production.

The start of a new journey

The diversity of Syngenta Group is a competitive advantage that enables us to drive innovation, productivity, and growth.

However, we also recognise that historical and systemic inequities continue to affect our employees and communities, and it is our duty to address them.

We’re embarking on a new path, one that reaffirms our commitment to making data a living part of our culture — not just as numbers or reports, but as tools to inspire action, shape decisions, and amplify our impact.

“The journey toward a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive world demands more than intentions — it requires the courage to act, the empathy to listen, and the commitment to build together a future where every voice is valued, every difference is embraced, and every individuals can thrive."

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Connecting employees to drive inclusion

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led communities within Syngenta that connect colleagues to drive positive change in the workplace.

Working on a global scale, ERGs give underrepresented groups (LGBTQIA+, women, people with disabilities and employees from different generations) a voice and a community. Education and awareness campaigns, driven by DEI Champions and our dedicated full-time DEI team, provide essential support and strength to these groups.

Through these connections, we aim to amplify voices, drive inclusion and build community.

Workplace inclusion and belonging

A place to thrive

We want our employees to feel secure and empowered to speak up; that’s why we’re committed to fostering a more inclusive workplace. Key to this is creating an environment that promotes well-being and self-care.

 

Supporting mental health, together

We create a safe environment to discuss mental health and equip line managers to recognise when a team member is facing issues. To us, every mind matters.

 

Inclusion for every ability

We believe in equity, inclusion, and belonging for all. Syngenta is a member of the Valuable 500 global movement to end disability exclusion.
