Bunge Global S.A. (BG)

Oilseed processor and grain merchant. Read October 2, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 19, 2026. Ranked 16 of the 31 Consumer Defensive companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states approximately 34,000 employees, 43% in South America and 20% in North America, with no count by business, so the split between processing plants and grain handling rests on the descriptions (c).

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 19% now, 27% at the end of 2027, 30% at the end of 2028, 31% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 31% desk work, 14% people work and 55% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 67% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 24% becomes checking a model's work and 8% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Headcount

34,000 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). North America is 20% of the headcount; the United States alone is not stated.

What the filing says about AI

5 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI only among cybersecurity risks: attacks using artificial intelligence, third-party service providers' use of its data in generative AI applications, and the exposure that adopting AI technology may bring to its systems.

• “Such vulnerabilities include, among other things, social engineering threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, zero-day vulnerability exploits, and cyberattacks utilizing emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning.”
• “Additionally, while we have agreements with many of the third-party service providers regarding the restrictions and limitations on their use of our data in generative AI applications, there is a risk that our sensitive and proprietary data could be inadvertently or maliciously exposed by these service providers.”
• “New technology that could result in greater operational efficiency, such as the rapid development and increased adoption of AI technology, may further expose our computer systems to the risk of cyberattacks, and may create the need for rapid modifications to our cybersecurity program to mitigate those risks.”
• “We have also implemented data security measures on the use of generative AI, including blocking external generative AI tools within our IT environment and the rollout of an internal generative AI tool that does not share our data or train internal or external AI models.”
• “Data privacy regulations continue to evolve, and non-compliance with such regulations, including as a result of adoption of emerging technologies, such as AI, could subject the Company to legal claims or proceedings, potential regulatory fines and penalties and damage to our reputation.”
