- Embrace a commitment to zero harm;
- Proactively manage health, safety and environment risks, and
- Recognise that our individual safety, and that of our colleagues, starts with us.

Leadership & Culture
With operations in grains and oilseeds in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, New Zealand, UK and Ukraine, GrainCorp is an accomplished and diverse business partner operating at scale in a vital industry. And our customers are central members of an international taskforce stepping up to meet that challenge.
Health & Wellbeing
We introduced a new Health & Wellbeing program just before the global COVID-19 pandemic began. The program was redesigned and shifted online to keep employees remaining active and mentally healthy due to the updated workplace changes.
We also provide regular health and wellbeing awareness activities, materials and resources including GrainCorp’s Employee Assistance program to help employees maintain their ongoing wellbeing.


Risk Management & Reporting
GrainCorp has identified 12 critical risks relating to key activities that have the potential to cause serious harm. We have implemented regular Critical Risk Reviews to support awareness and management of the necessary controls to mitigate these risks. It’s a key part of our safety culture and makes it simple for our teams to assess their work environment.
Working in partnership with global, regional and food manufacturers, our malted base products are integral to the foods you love. From joint research and development in our labs to quality assurance and traceability of supply, we help our partners create award-winning and delicious treats.
Transporting and trading grain, we provide an indispensable link between local growers and national and international markets. With an emphasis on quality and accountability, we help generate confidence in the entire grains supply chain.
