Post by Barry Callebaut Group

🍫On this day thirty years ago on July 8, 1996, Klaus J. Jacobs began the Barry Callebaut journey by bringing two companies, Callebaut and Cacao Barry, together. As we celebrate our 30th birthday, we also celebrate the people who have shaped our journey. For three decades, our success has been built on the commitment of colleagues from around the world. From supporting customers and driving innovation to advancing sustainability and strengthening the communities where we operate, our people have always been at the heart of what makes Barry Callebaut unique. Today, it's extra sweet to honor our 2026 Chairman’s Award winners: the colleagues whose passion, dedication, and impact continue to shape our future. For over 25 years, the award has recognized colleagues who go above and beyond in their work and communities, while embodying the values that define Barry Callebaut. This year, we had the privilege of celebrating 10 exceptional colleagues whose stories inspire us all. Our success has always been built on the same foundation: talented people who bring passion, expertise, and commitment to what they do every day. Our people shape our future and drive our success in the years ahead. The 2026 Chairman's Award winners are a powerful example of that spirit in action. Watch the highlights from this year's ceremony and hear their inspiring stories. Want to learn more about the Chairman's Award?
