Honoring outstanding performance and community service
The annual Chairman's Award recognizes employees who have demonstrated outstanding performance at work, as well as a strong social commitment in their local communities. They are individuals who embody the Barry Callebaut values of customer focus, passion, entrepreneurship, team spirit and integrity.
The Chairman’s Award was inaugurated in 1995 by Klaus Jacobs, the former Chairman of Jacobs Holding AG and founder of Barry Callebaut. Since then, the Chairman’s Award has been given to a select number of employees each year.
In 2009, 15 Barry Callebaut employees from 11 countries received the award and were invited together with their spouses or partners to come to Switzerland to be given the award by the CEO Juergen B. Steinemann, Chairman Andreas Jacobs and Vice Chairman Andreas Schmid.
