Mission

We create meat brands that tell stories. Real stories of the amazing farmers who commit their lives to nurture the land and care for animals.

We are inspiring a new meat mindset and ultimately changing the way business is done by us, our suppliers and our customers.

We collaborate with industry stakeholders to challenge the norm and find new, progressive ways to make our business and industry more environmentally sustainable, ethical and inclusive.

We support our team members to love what they do, have fun and work in a balanced & flexible way.

We celebrate meat and food for the joy it brings people across communities around the globe.

Our goal is for our suppliers and our customers to become our biggest advocates because they love what we do and why we do it.

…but most of all we ultimately want to do our bit to make a positive, lasting contribution to the future of our industry.
