Utilizing a decentralized model requires talented managers who live by our values, understand our vision and have the drive to carry it out. 

Bunge created the Leadership Development Program (LDP) to strengthen these attributes among our managers and to forge the bonds that make our team truly collaborative. The LDP convenes in the U.S., Brazil and Spain. Its curriculum was developed in partnership with Washington University in St. Louis, Fundação Dom Cabral and ESADE Business School. 

LDP classes include approximately 24 managers, chosen from around the world. Each class takes part in a series of 

three one-week sessions over the course of a year. The sessions focus on formulating innovative strategy, executing that strategy through process and system management, and managing teams to maximize organizational effectiveness. 

Senior executives play active roles: CEO Alberto Weisser discusses Bunge’s global strategy with each class; members of the Executive Committee lead sessions on specific topics; and members of the Board of Directors chair a discussion on corporate governance. 

More than 250 managers have completed or are currently attending the LDP.
