Tyson Foods recently 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 & 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. Through an extensive materiality assessment, Tyson Foods engaged diverse internal and external partners to identify important issues where opportunities could be addressed. The materiality assessment reinforced the opportunity Tyson Foods has to drive a better future for society and further demonstrated how investing in people and planet is critical for the company’s growth.
