Building thriving communities

What community means to us

We think about community in its broadest sense. Each of us is part of the Tate & Lyle employee community and the communities of other stakeholders we work with such as our customers, suppliers and partner organisations.

We’re also part of the local communities where we live and work, and we want everyone in those communities to have the opportunity to achieve their potential. 


We have set ourselves three targets to build thriving communities by 2025
