Recognizing Outstanding Contributions to Safety and Positivity in the Potato Industry

Agristo Nederland recently held its much-anticipated Safety Potato and Positive Potato Awards ceremony, a testament to the commitment and dedication of individuals within the potato industry towards ensuring safety and fostering a positive work environment.

In a heartwarming event filled with camaraderie and appreciation, colleagues were given the opportunity to nominate each other for embodying either safety or positivity in their behaviors. After an array of nominations flooded in, the time finally arrived for the prestigious awards to be presented.

Today marked a momentous occasion as our esteemed colleagues, Rob and Eddy, stepped forward to claim their well-deserved recognition. The atmosphere was filled with jubilation as heartfelt words of admiration were spoken, accompanied by the presentation of a delectable cake and, of course, the symbolic golden potato trophy.

This celebration serves as a reminder of the significance of prioritizing safety and cultivating a positive workplace culture within the potato industry. It underscores the invaluable contributions of individuals like Rob and Eddy, whose dedication sets a standard of excellence for their peers.

As we applaud their achievements, let us look forward to the continuation of this tradition, inspiring further nominations and celebrating the remarkable efforts of those who uphold the core values of safety and positivity.
