To us, corporate responsibility isn’t about the final destination, it’s about the journey and how we are going to get there. We know our policies and procedures will evolve and change as the landscape in which we do business evolves and changes. We see corporate responsibility as an imperative.
The better job we do at being responsible today, the better our business will be in the future. We know that from a pure business sense, it can help us manage risk, enhance employee morale and retention, strengthen brand loyalty, build goodwill in the communities in which we operate and can directly affect the bottom line such as with energy savings and waste reduction. We also know that it must be a way of thinking before it becomes a way of acting. And the only way to accomplish that is to embed it fully into our brand. That is why our approach is stakeholder-driven, focused on four key areas – Food, People, Environment and Corporate Governance.
