Core Values

Our Core Values guide our business practices and decision making at all levels. Redefined in 2011, they are rooted in seven key principles:

Respect – Conducting ourselves in a courteous, caring and professional manner regardless of the situation

Empowerment – Having the courage to take risks and make difficult decisions while accepting that occasional failures are part of any growing organization

Communication – Setting clear expectations, providing candid feedback and being good listeners both internally and externally

Innovation – Creating relevant new products that inspire customers while working as a team to generate ongoing improvements in quality, productivity and food safety

Passion – Cultivating a diverse community of unique individuals who are committed, results driven and eager to celebrate our successes with one another

Education – Allocating the training and development resources necessary to grow as individuals and remain competitive as an organization

Servitude – Leadership philosophy focused on consistently meeting or exceeding customer expectations by giving priority attention to the needs of others both internally and externally
