Our Management Approach
Our safety policies are designed to promote a safe work culture for our more than 59,600 team members. The Pilgrim’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System focuses on training and educating our team members and eliminating workplace hazards, meeting relevant government requirements in each country.
Our American and Puerto Rican facilities operate in alignment with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. In Europe, our programs meet the Health Safety Executive Reporting of Incidents Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). In Mexico, our team tracks data according to the government Secretaria del Trabajo and the Safety and Health regulations, which comply with OSHA standards.
Pilgrim’s facilities are equipped with a Safety Manager. In total, we have more than 300 team members whose roles and responsibilities are dedicated to the health and safety of our team members in our facilities. Every facility also has a safety committee that is led by the facility Safety Manager or Site director, equipped with leading key members of the teams on site.
To continuously improve, we set companywide and facility-specific safety goals each year and track leading safety indicators. Performance is reported daily, weekly and monthly to management teams.

Our Sustainability Team
Our sustainability program is managed by the Corporate Sustainability Department in each region, reporting to the president of their respective business unit or directly to the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO). Ultimate oversight comes from the Pilgrim's Global CEO. Within each region, our sustainability leads partner with subject matter experts on our environmental, team member health and safety, animal welfare and food safety, and quality assurance teams, who are responsible for implementing and improving our sustainability performance on the ground. Direct responsibility for decision making on ESG topics resides with the CSO, who reports to the CEO and oversees the Corporate Sustainability Department for Pilgrim's and JBS. The Pilgrim's sustainability program follows the same approach as our parent company, JBS.
Our Pilgrim's Board of Directors also discusses and advises the Pilgrim's executive team on policies, procedures, impacts, risks and opportunities in addressing ESG topics. In addition, the Board's Sustainability Committee Charter assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight related to sustainability.
