Employee Retirement Plans

We have employee benefit plans including a 401(k) plan and European pension plans. Additionally, we contribute to one multi-employer pension plan on behalf of our employees. We have separate, stand-alone defined benefit pension plans for Alpro. The benefits under our Alpro defined benefit plans are based on years of service and employee compensation.
