Creating value for all
Besides contributing to the wellbeing of 400 million daily consumers, we take a long-term approach to bring value to all our stakeholders – our people, trade partners, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.
As the global leader in teas and infusions, we have the means and the duty to raise the bar for the whole industry. Our growth must create better opportunities for all. We are committed to improving livelihoods in tea-growing areas and to protecting natural resources for future generations.
We created the Lipton Tea Innovation & Technology Academy, in partnership with the Government of Kenya and the University of Kabianga, to make a global centre of expertise in tea quality and responsible practices.
By offering professional training that begins with introductory skills in business and diversifying farm incomes and extends to advanced scientific research with masters’ and doctoral degrees, we are supporting the development of Kenya’s largest export industry and creating talent that is sought worldwide.
We have built alliances with a diverse range of researchers, farmers, consumers, NGOs – such as IDH (the Sustainable Trade Initiative), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), UN Women, the Global Tea Coalition and, more recently, the Consumer Goods Forum and its Collaboration for Healthier Lives platform.
Wealth of diversity
Success comes through people collaborating, lifting each other up in service of common goals. Just as we know the power of blending in the world of tea, we honor the role of diversity of thinking, ideas and interests to build excellence.
It all starts with our talented people. We are on a journey, and they are in the driving seat. Being part of LIPTON Teas and Infusions isn’t just a chance to work with tea industry super brands. It’s a chance to be in a great place to grow. A place where you feel empowered and get opportunities to enhance your skills and capabilities, where proposals and new ideas are valued, where you can help drive change and make the world healthier, more sustainable and responsible.
We believe it is thanks to our financial performance that we will have a positive social and environmental impact. Creating financial value gives us the ability to reinvest and positively impact people’s lives and the planet. As a strong business, we can promote social equality, improve soil health, support biodiversity and help preserve natural resources. This commitment to a more sustainable and inclusive economic model has the full backing of LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ management and its owners, CVC Capital Partners. We are thankful for the ongoing support of our community of customers, partners and investors, who encourage us to tackle the issues of today and tomorrow.
