They are living our values and bringing our purpose-led, future-fit strategy to life. From nearly 900 nominations, 12 winners were selected. They come from all around the world - meet our Heroes and find out about their incredible achievements.

'A few years ago I was on my way to work in Rotterdam, reading about the journeys of refugees from Syria in a newspaper,' says Erin Groot Hermsen, Knorr Portfolio Transformation Manager. 'I found myself thinking that no one wants to leave their home voluntarily. It's a very brave thing to do.'

Erin was inspired to find out more. 'I wanted to witness the crisis with my own eyes to see how best I could support the refugees,' she says. She made contact with the Amsterdam-based NGO, Movement on the Ground, which provides humanitarian aid to refugees on the Greek islands of Lesbos and Samos.
