Within a challenging market environment, excellence is gaining in importance as a strategic driver for the Emmi Group in achieving sustainable profitable growth. We continued to strengthen our operational excellence in 2025 with targeted interdisciplinary initiatives in the areas of finance, organisation and talent development.
We will only be able to consolidate our position in the markets and drive innovation forward if we act efficiently across all divisions, make optimal use of resources and rigorously control processes. Four value drivers form the backbone and basis for our operational development: winning teams, funding the journey, profitable growth and business steering.
Through the global Emmi Finance Academy, we are investing in the financial skills of our employees and thus in the organisation as a whole. The aim of the Finance Academy is to deepen financial knowledge so that data-driven decisions can be made with an eye on the future. Following its launch in 2024, the programme was rolled out internationally in 2025. 654 employees have already successfully completed the Finance Academy over the past two years.
Excellence starts with our teams. Dual vocational education and training have a long tradition in Switzerland and are a key pillar of our talent strategy. Our youngest talents can experience our Emmi culture in the annual apprenticeship camp: specialist know-how, team spirit and values lay the foundations for the specialists of tomorrow. Six talented young people from the Emmi Group qualified for this year’s Switzerland-wide SwissSkills event. This successful result underscores the value of our investments in promoting young talent. Emmi is currently training 143 apprentices in 14 different occupations in Switzerland.
