How do great teams build a culture of accountability?

In this episode of The Values That Define Us, Hayden, from SIPCAM Australia, shares his perspective on one of the principles that defines our way of working: accountability.

At Sipcam Oxon, accountability goes beyond taking responsibility for our own role. It means making decisions with integrity, acting in the best interest of the business, and supporting our colleagues to achieve shared goals.

Whether it means challenging an idea, embracing difficult decisions, or choosing a different path from the conventional one, accountability is about putting the success of the company before individual preferences.

There is a date that marks the beginning of our story. On 5 March 1946, SIPCAM was founded. 

We have since evolved into an international group, while staying true to our founding values: independence, reliability, and industrial vision.

For us, Supporting Agriculture is a tangible commitment — built on responsibility, strong roots, people, and expertise.

What does commitment really mean?

In this episode of The Values That Define Us, Carlo Paganessi, Global HR Manager at Sipcam Oxon, shares his perspective on one of the values that drives our success every day: commitment.

More than a responsibility, commitment is about creating connections. It means building strong relationships with our customers, taking ownership of our role within the company, and leading with authenticity to help others achieve their full potential.

Through his reflections, Carlo explores how commitment brings people together around a common purpose, transforming individual efforts into shared achievements.

A new beginning in Milan, on Viale Cassiodoro: 80 years ago, the Sipcam logo was born! 

In December 1945, in his own home, founder Emilio Gagliardini imagined and drew what would later become the symbol of the Sipcam Oxon company. 

In March 1946, the sapling logo officially came to life, becoming the company’s distinctive trademark in every respect and subsequently evolving over the years through various redesigns.

What are the values that have shaped Sipcam Oxon over the past 80 years?

In this first episode of our series dedicated to the values that guide our company, Beatriz Marco, Business Partner and member of the Sipcam family for more than 30 years, shares her personal experience and reflects on the importance of trust, respect, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Through her story, Beatriz highlights the values that have inspired generations of people within Sipcam Oxon and continue to drive our growth, commitment, and success.

In 1949 Sipcam’s technical team launched "La Difesa", an annual publication dedicated to Italian farmers. For decades, it provided clear, practical guidance on crop-protection challenges and solutions – an essential reference at a time when technical expertise in the field was limited – demonstrating a long standing commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting agricultural progress.

In the image, selected excerpts are shown from the original publication dating back to 1950.

In 1972, the new facility in Salerano sul Lambro, Italy, was opened, with dedicated areas for field and greenhouse trials.

30 hectares in total; 10,000 sqm of formulation facilities and 18,000 sqm finished-product warehouse; 15 hectares dedicated to the field station; Laboratories for R&D, synthesis, formulation, and quality control

Today, it remains one of the beating hearts of Sipcam Oxon.

Sipcam Oxon has operated in Brazil since 1979.

 The company is a joint venture between Sipcam Oxon and Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd., a long-established Japanese company specialising in the research and development of crop protection solutions. It celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024.

Sipcam Nichino Brasil employs nearly 200 people and operates across all major agricultural regions of the country. Its headquarters are located in São Paulo, and the company also operates an industrial plant in Uberaba, Minas Gerais.
