McCormick & Company

International Women’s Day is the perfect opportunity to elevate meaningful conversations, inspire action and continue building a more inclusive future. This year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” reminds us that when we share our time, voices and resources, we all benefit - resulting in stronger teams and more connected communities. That’s why throughout March, McCormick colleagues around the world celebrated the occasion in impactful and locally meaningful ways, with the support of our regional Women’s International Network (WIN) teams. From a virtual panel discussion and in-person microlearning sessions in APAC, to candid conversations and powerful storytelling across EMEA, the engagement was inspiring to see. Many teams across the globe also took their commitment a step further by organizing charitable donation efforts in support of external organizations focused on women’s empowerment and community well-being. For example, in the U.S., employees joined in a range of initiatives both large and small, including a donation drive and a wellness-focused yoga session. Thank you to all who participated and to our global WIN teams for organizing these initiatives!

Today, McCormick & Co. announced that it has entered an agreement to combine with Unilever Foods, creating a global flavor leader in attractive and high-growth categories, and bringing end-to-end flavor to consumers around the world. This transaction will combine two industry-leading organizations with complementary global footprints and portfolios of iconic brands across herbs, spices, seasonings, bouillon, condiments and sauces. The combined business will benefit from expanded global reach, enhanced scale across retail and foodservice channels and greater resources to invest in innovation, brand-building and global distribution.

We were ecstatic to attend Expo West 2026 last week, a.k.a. one of the largest global trade shows dedicated to natural, organic, and better-for-you products. For this show, we elevated our presence by bringing together our Consumer and Flavor Solutions businesses as one unified Flavor Powerhouse 💪 Customers shared rave reviews of our booth and prototypes, with one noting they couldn’t believe it was our first time at the show. Our concepts truly stood out for their innovation, proving that we don't just make spices - we define the flavor landscape through our own portfolio of brands and as the trusted flavor partner behind countless CPG and foodservice companies. Meaning, we know your consumer, because we serve them too. Internally, the collaboration was just as meaningful. Teams across the business came together seamlessly to present a unified, compelling story of flavor leadership. Expo West 2026 was an incredible opportunity for McCormick & Company to show up as One McCormick — and the impact was clear. Thank you to everyone who helped make the showcase such a success!

This #InternationalWomensDay is extra meaningful because it's also the #InternationalYearoftheWomanFarmer 👩🌾 The extraordinary role that female farmers play in making life more flavorful is undeniable. After all, women represent nearly half of the global agricultural workforce. They are central to food security, nutrition, and rural economic resilience. At McCormick, supporting women in agriculture is essential to building resilient supply chains and future proofing the ingredients we all depend on. Today, we celebrate the strength and leadership of women across the global food system—from production lines and research labs to farms and fields.
