St. Louis, MO – Bunge Global SA (NYSE:BG), a premier agribusiness solutions company connecting farmers to consumers, is expanding its Global Volunteer Program for World Food Day 2025, following its recent combination with Viterra. Employees around the world are working “Hand in Hand” throughout October to support food security and give back to the communities where they live and work.
This month-long initiative engages teams in approximately 148 cities in 26 countries, investing time and resources in volunteer activities that contribute to local food security, benefiting more than 100 organizations. With each site encouraged to identify local initiatives that align with education and food security, the companywide program continues to drive meaningful impact in its fourth consecutive year. The combined company is broadening its reach, strengthening its impact, and helping to support lasting change.
“This World Food Day reminds us that when we work hand in hand with our communities, we can make a real difference. We are embodying our ‘We Do What’s Right’ value by uniting an even larger global team to do our part to tackle the crucial challenge of food security,” said Gabriella Herzog, Global Social Impact Director at Bunge. “It is incredibly inspiring to see our colleagues across Bunge dedicate their time and energy to supporting food security. Their actions reflect not only our values, but also a shared belief that building stronger food systems starts locally, with each of us contributing where we can.”
Since its launch in 2022, Bunge’s World Food Day Global Volunteer Program has facilitated hundreds of volunteer activities worldwide. These efforts range from coordinating food drives and supporting food banks to providing education on healthy eating and partnering with local organizations dedicated to hunger relief. Many initiatives have evolved into enduring partnerships, fostering sustained positive impact in communities where Bunge operates.
World Food Day, observed annually on Oct. 16, is an international day designated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to promote global awareness and action for food security. For Bunge, it is a pivotal opportunity to reinforce its role in advancing access to food, collaboration and sustainability across the food value chain.
