Building thriving communities

For many organisations, the word ‘communityʼ is used to mean those outside the organisation, and their activities are about supporting people in their local communities. For us, it certainly includes those things – but it also means much more.

What community means to us

We think about community in its broadest sense. Each of us is part of the Tate & Lyle employee community and the communities of other stakeholders we work with such as our customers, suppliers and partner organisations.

We’re also part of the local communities where we live and work, and we want everyone in those communities to have the opportunity to achieve their potential.
