The production of urea and ammonia is in charge of the largest Champion team, Industrial Operations. This area, in turn, has four task-specific focus groups: Production, Maintenance, Technical and Special Projects.

They are all managed by the Human Resources Area and have a strong impact on the Climate and Engagement Management Process.

Manages the supply of raw materials, goods, and services, along with the logistical coordination involving the ports of Bahía Blanca, Necochea, San Nicolás, and Puerto General San Martín. Its objective is to ensure the incorporation of inputs into the production process, and the distribution and storage of the final product, while adhering to quality standards, optimizing costs, and aligning with the company’s strategic plan.

Culture

We want working at Champion to be a challenge, in an environment that supports this growth. For this reason, we take care of the cultural management of the organization.

We have an organizational climate management process, which allows us to obtain measurements of the factors that determine our staff’s satisfaction.

Based on these annual metrics, concrete steps are taken to progress where opportunities for improvement are identified.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are one of our management axes. We strategically plan actions to promote these aspects in the working environment.

We have developed our Diversity and Inclusion Policy to work towards a common. We set out the main aspects in our Manifesto.

In Champion we are committed to:

  • Think in a sustainable way.
  • Provide equal opportunities for all
  • Nourish us with diverse teams
  • Promote inclusion to broaden horizons
  • Encourage respect, always
  • Use dialog as a tool
  • Reject any kind of discrimination, abuse and harassment
  • Impact on the community by being agents of social change
  • Promote gender equality
  • Work to build fairer societies

Labor relationships

We promote freedom of trade union association. 28% of our people are members of the Bahia Blanca Chemical, Petrochemical and Related Industries Personnel Union, with which we have signed a collective bargaining agreement by company, valid until December 2023.

In this agreement, the parties undertake to ensure that the workers carry out their tasks in a safe and thriving environment that respects their dignity, aspiring to ensure that their professional qualifications contribute to the processes of continuous improvement, as well as to production cost-effectiveness.

Development

Our development process is designed to ensure that each person acquires the necessary generic and technical skills, at the required levels, to perform adequately in their current position and be prepared to access future employment opportunities within the Company.

This process is supplemented by the policy of prioritizing the filling of vacancies with internal candidates, providing real opportunities for development.
The internal turnover indicator, considering contractors, amounts to 61%.

Likewise, we create opportunities and agreements with educational organizations to detect the best talents in each specialty and thus consolidate our work team day by day.

Employee experience

The concept of “employee experience” refers to the result of the perceptions of all the actions we perform from the Company towards the employees that make it up.

As part of this management, we promote work and personal life balance through benefits designed to improve the quality of life and the climate at work.

Occupational Health and Safety

Our goal is to build and maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Therefore, we carry out health care prevention, training and awareness through medical examinations, vaccination and healthy weight programs, early detection of diabetes and CPR and first aid workshops.

We also conduct an annual employee climate survey to examine, detect and correct deviations and measure workplace comfort levels.

We recognize the fact that, in order to take care of our health, it is essential to be informed. For this reason, in Champion and as part of our prevention program, we provide our staff with information on topics of interest through online brochures for the entire family.lia.
