Today, our ambition is clear – we will help drive a healthier society. It means that our decisions need to benefit both our business and society. Clearly, we cannot do this by ourselves, which is why we partner with civil society, public entities, and our peers in industry. We focus on where we can make the biggest impact in both our business and society. The UN Sustainable Development Goals have been instrumental in steering our focus and shaping our strategic roadmap, giving us a clear purpose in the larger plan for society.
We will drive a healthier society by enabling our customers to eat healthier food, helping to reduce diseases and increase overall vitality. For society at large, it also means reducing food waste so that we responsibly manage the earth’s resources and feed the undernourished in our communities. And for our associates, this means celebrating a diverse and inclusive workforce, helping them to reach their potential so they can thrive in life and business.
Comparably data clearly shows that a focused mission statement and cohesive core company values are vital to maintaining employee alignment.
