Our Approach

Feeding Our Communities

Creating a Better Future

In 2015, we performed a Corporate Materiality Analysis (CMA) to identify material issues for our business. This analysis, while inclusive of Pilgrim’s internal perceptions of our sustainability performance, relied heavily on views of outside stakeholders, including NGOs, community organizations, customers, suppliers, government officials, academia and industry trade associations. The topics identified through this process influenced our priority areas, five-year goals and reported annual performance.

In 2020, external consultants revisited our CMA to help us understand how expectations of our stakeholders may have shifted. Through surveys and in-depth interviews, global stakeholders across our supply chain provided insights confirming our efforts in key areas. To integrate our priority areas and ensure we remain focused on improvement, we set aggressive, globally-aligned 2030 goals covering our operations in the U.S., Mexico, Europe and the UK.

Additionally, the Pilgrim’s Ethics Line is used for employee consultation. We continuously gather feedback on material issues from internal and external stakeholders through one-on-one conversations and collaborative supply chain sustainability initiatives. This feedback helps inform our process, progress to goals and annual performance which is, at minimum, annually reported to our board of directors for additional feedback and guidance. Select stakeholders were also involved in the development of this report.
