Mike Snow is the Senior Director for Global Safety at Bunge Limited. He partners with company executives, industrial and non-industrial leaders, and workers to create a zero-incident safety culture and drive fatal and life-altering injuries to zero.

Mike brings three decades of experience in industrial operations and personnel and process safety to the position, which was created in June 2014. He leads a global safety team in developing and executing a corporate safety strategy that promotes incident prevention through proactive exposure recognition and control and includes a dedicated safety communications system with training, tools and information in 22 languages. Mike has a true passion for people and travels to Bunge facilities and offices worldwide to inspire leaders and workers to take personal ownership of their own safety and that of others.

Today safety engagement at Bunge is at an all-time high. Near-miss and exposure reporting is on the rise, and lost-time incidents, including those with fatal and life-altering consequence, have been reduced significantly.
