A vital part of our work around the globe is led by our Human Rights Champions Network. These Champions increase visibility and awareness of human rights and implement our processes. This includes getting into the field, conducting audits, coordinating initiatives and implementing corrective actions to ensure the treatment of workers is consistent with our Policy.

Luigi Terzini serves as our Environment, Safety and Health (ESH) Regional Lead and Human Rights Champion for South America. Since 2007, he has worked in different regions of the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America South and Brazil. Every day, he works within our organization and supply chain to create better working environments, and he is a tireless advocate for human rights.

“I’m committed to making a difference by ensuring safe and healthy workplaces and human rights at our locations, and whenever possible, with our partners, customers, and communities.”
Luigi Terzini, Human Rights Champion

“Being a Human Rights Champion provides me with a real, great and effective opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people. Recently, I’ve worked hand-in-hand with the Argentine Seed Industry Association and the field workers’ unions to improve the working conditions of thousands of field migrant workers of the many seed business farms in the country.

I’m honored to support the educational and health needs of our people and local communities. Often, I become overwhelmed by challenges that look too big to be accomplished, but thanks to our people’s passion for improving the well being of people, we can achieve great things. This makes me extraordinarily proud to be a Human Rights Champion.

I’m committed to making a difference by ensuring safe and healthy workplaces and human rights at our locations, and with our partners, customers and communities.”
