NewsPerspectives from Management Excellence Programme graduates
At De Heus, leadership is not defined by a title, but by the mindset and commitment to drive meaningful progress. That’s why we invest in people. Our Management Excellence Programme (MEP) is one of the ways we shape the next generation of leaders across our global organisation. Launched in 2023, MEP has already welcomed 38 participants from 14 business units. The programme brings together emerging leaders for a transformative learning experience that equips them with the tools, self-awareness, and strategic insights to lead with clarity, empathy, and impact. MEP is more than a leadership course — it’s a journey of personal and professional growth. Through peer learning, expert coaching, and real-world assignments, participants are encouraged to reflect deeply, challenge assumptions, and lead from a broader perspective.

SustainabilityHelping farmers in South Africa reduce their use of antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. De Heus is committed to not only eliminating antibiotics from its feed by 2030, but also to helping farmers reduce their use of antibiotics as a preventive measure against disease. The EU has already introduced regulations restricting the routine use of antibiotics in agriculture, but in countries like South Africa, legislation governing antibiotics is still lenient. As a result, administering antibiotics to animals is an everyday practice on South African farms.
