Tyson Foods Releases 2021 Sustainability Report
Tyson Foods has released its 2021 (FY21) Sustainability Report, which reflects the company’s continued focus on supporting its people and communities, driving product responsibility and working to sustain natural resources.
“More than ever, Tyson Foods is operating as part of a global food system, and we have a critical role to play in responsibly producing food that is affordable, accessible and nutritious,” said John R. Tyson, EVP Strategy and Chief Sustainability Officer, Tyson Foods. “At the same time, we are investing in team member benefits and services to become the most sought-after place to work in the protein industry.”
In 2021, Tyson Foods began a process to further establish long-range 2030 goals and metrics that will help more deeply embed its environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities and commitments into its business.
Based on this assessment, Tyson Foods fine-tuned the pillars of its Formula to Feed the Future strategy, the company’s framework to help build a food system that supports all people and sustains the planet, broadening the scope of the focus areas that Tyson Foods is committed to positively impacting for team members, communities, the industry and its business. Underpinning these focus areas is a strong foundation of corporate governance, business ethics, supply chain management and data privacy and cybersecurity.
Other key achievements supporting Tyson Foods’ Formula to Feed the Future framework include:
- Reimagining People & Community Impact: Create work environments that enable workers to succeed while supporting the growth of our communities
- Driving Product Responsibility from Farm to Table: Deliver value to consumers with high quality, sustainable, nutritious protein through a leading portfolio of products
- Working Toward Sustaining Natural Resources and Achieving Net Zero: Drive practices in our own operations and supply chains to sustainably produce protein for a growing population within planetary boundaries
