Chr. Hansen Malaysia

We are a leading, global bioscience company that develops natural ingredient solutions for the food, nutritional, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. Our natural solutions play a key role in creating a food system that is resilient and prepared to feed a growing population while also minimizing its adverse climate impact – ensuring greater sustainability from farm to fork.

Our product innovation is based on almost 40,000 microbial strains – we like to refer to them as ‘good bacteria’. With the offset in our microbial platform, we are uniquely positioned to address some of society’s most pressing challenges such as climate change, food waste, global health and the overuse of antibiotics and pesticides.

Developing sustainable solutions is an integral part of Chr. Hansen’s quest to grow a better world naturally. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are an integrated part of our corporate strategy, focusing on goal 2, 3 and 12 related to zero hunger, good health and responsible consumption and production. In fact, 81% of our revenue directly supports these goals. In a commitment to curb climate change and limit the global temperature rise, Chr. Hansen has also joined the UN ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C’ initiative, pledging to set ambitious carbon emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative.

We are humbled and proud that Chr. Hansen several times has been recognized as a global sustainability leader. For four consecutive years (2018 – 2021) Chr. Hansen has been listed on Corporate Knights’ list of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. The inclusion on the list was cemented in 2019 and 2020 when we were ranked respectively no. 1 and 2. 

We have been delivering value to our partners – and, ultimately, end consumers worldwide – for over 145 years. We are proud that more than one billion people consume products containing our natural ingredients every day. 

Let’s grow a better world. Naturally.

Our Chr. Hansen culture is driven by four strong forces. We call them cultural drivers. The first two are: We work for a better world; and We deliver results.

This means that we hold high ethical standards in our pursuit of a higher purpose and that we work resolutely toward a sustainable future while we at the same time deliver results and focus on profitable and sustainable growth. It is our ambition that drives success – for us and for our customers.

The second pair of cultural drivers is: We rely on each other; and We act with freedom.

It means that we care for each other without forgetting the structures that keep us accountable, and that we give and ask for help where needed so that our pioneering mindset can continue to break barriers, and so that we can be agile and keep improving in everything that we do.

One driver cannot stand alone

It is the dynamic mix of these four cultural drivers that makes us truly unique and gives us a shared understanding of our company culture. We can use the cultural drivers to make us stronger and speak with one voice. We can use them to sharpen our focus, to guide our team work and to keep perspective. 

When we are at our best

Every day at work, we experience our Chr. Hansen culture. Our cultural drivers can guide us in our actions and help us create special moments where our cultural drivers are in balance. These moments define us. We call them our Chr. Hansen moments – moments when we are at our best.
