​Higher Purpose

Since day one, our purpose has been rooted in a commitment to Conscious Capitalism, prioritizing the long-term benefits to our stakeholders, who include farmers and suppliers, customers and consumers, communities and the environment, and crewmembers, and stockholders. Our business decisions consider the impact on all our stakeholders, in contrast with the factory farming model, which principally emphasizes cost reduction at the expense of animals, farmers, consumers, employees, communities and the environment.
