At Grupo Jorge, we recognize that the true driver of a company’s success is its people; it is essential for us to value the development and well-being of our teams. Therefore, we seek to be an inclusive group, offering a work environment where each person can give of their best and evolve professionally.

What makes Grupo Jorge a Top Employer?

At Grupo Jorge we distinguish ourselves by our multidisciplinary environment, where more than 50 nationalities and different generations coexist. Continuous training is one of our pillars, with focus on the professional development of employees through a virtual campus. Being part of a group closely linked to its territory, with a long history and in constant development is a professional opportunity for job seekers.

Furthermore, at Grupo Jorge we encourage young people to join us by participating in talent recruitment fairs and increasing agreements with universities and educational centers. One example of this is the promotion of the Grupo Jorge Foundation Chair for Talent and Innovation, with the University of Zaragoza - and another is the Grupo Jorge Foundation Chair for Integration and Sustainable Development, with San Jorge University.

Sustainability is another crucial aspect for Grupo Jorge and this commitment is reflected in our ‘Feeding the Future’ strategy. Through this we promote circular economy and employment, we develop social projects, ensure animal welfare, control emissions, comply with the 2030 Agenda and minimize waste.
