Dear Stakeholders,

At Pilgrim’s, our very clear vision—to become the best and most respected company in our industry, creating the opportunity of a better future for our team members—guides everything we do. It holds us accountable to delivering excellence in a responsible way for all of our stakeholders, including our employees, producer partners, customers and shareholders, while also operating as a good global citizen.

It’s my honor to share with you the 2022 Pilgrim’s Sustainability Report. With this update, you’ll see highlights of some of our proudest accomplishments from the year. As we continue to serve as a leading global producer of high-quality poultry, pork, retail-ready, and prepared-foods products, we’re meeting needs in the local communities where we work and live, enhancing the ways we support our team members and their families, and making progress against sustainability targets we’ve set. Through innovations like Moy Park’s Farm of the Future in the UK that can reduce scope 1 and scope 2 on-farm emissions by 100%, we are working across geographies to lead the industry.   

Bringing strength and stability to the local communities where we operate is a top priority for us, and we know that’s where we can make the most meaningful impact. In 2022, we saw ongoing community investment efforts through our Hometown Strong initiative, and we continued our focus on education for our team members and their children through the Better Futures program and the Pilgrim’s Tomorrow Fund. 

As always, our team members remain our greatest asset, which is why safety is a prerequisite at Pilgrim’s. This year, we achieved a nearly 54% improvement in our Global Safety Index performance as compared to the 2019-2020 average baseline.  

We’re also rising to the global challenge of feeding a growing population in an environmentally responsible way. As an industry leader in the fight against climate change, we’re continuing to make strides to improve the efficiency of our operations and minimize our environmental footprint. In 2022, Pilgrim’s UK and Pilgrim’s Food Masters used 100% renewable electricity to power operations. Additionally, our European operations are zero-waste-to-landfill, and our team in Mexico launched workshops to engage with suppliers on sustainability strategies. 

This report allows us to share the progress we’ve made, and we hope it also serves as way to push forward the food and agriculture industry as a whole. As a large company and employer, we recognize the role we play extends beyond our own walls, and we continue to work on delivering scalable solutions to the sustainability challenges that impact us all.

Sincerely,
