Dear Stakeholders,
As I reflect back on 2023, I am so proud of what we achieved at Pilgrim’s. Around the world, once again, millions of people put our high-quality food products on their plates every day. Our business thrived, demonstrating our resilience and strong demand for our products. Just as important, we stayed true to our commitment to operate in a responsible and sustainable way that meets the expectations of our customers and the communities we call home. In 2023, Pilgrim’s made measurable strides in our sustainability efforts because of our relentless focus on ways to improve across our global footprint. There is always more work to be done, but it is also important to celebrate our collective progress. And I am proud that 2023 was a year of advancement. This report provides an in-depth view, but I would like to call out a few highlights here.
In 2023, Pilgrim’s reduced absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 17% compared to 2019 baseline. As of year-end 2023, we approved more than 130 GHG emissions reduction projects for implementation in Pilgrim’s facilities since 2019. This is an area where we continue to innovate and lead sustainable transformation by example.
The safety of our employees and customers has always been paramount, and we continue to make progress to underscore that. In 2023, I am proud to report that we improved our Global Safety Index performance by 12% since 2022 and 69% compared to our 2019 baseline. This is a critical measure because we believe that safety is a condition for becoming the best and most respected company in our industry.
There are so many other efforts to take pride in--whether it’s how we are tackling food waste, our dedication to humane animal handling and welfare, or the way we encourage our suppliers to join us on our journey toward collective improvement, too. Within our communities, we continue to invest in opportunities for our employees and their families while focusing philanthropic efforts on the causes that matter most to them.
I believe that sustainability must be embedded in our business as we face the global challenge of feeding a growing population. We will continue to explore innovative ways to lead and grow in this area, striving to make a meaningful impact.
It is my honor to share this report with you as it captures our successes, our aspirations, and a relentless drive to accomplish more.
Sincerely,
