Improving Communities and the World
We know that small changes or actions can in fact lead to large-scale and meaningful impact. Nowhere is this more evident than in the work Hormel Foods is doing to lift up communities around the world. In 2021, we donated more than $8.5 million to causes we care about – hunger, education and even cancer research. As one of the most admired food companies in the world, it is our obligation to create safe, wholesome food for all; be a good neighbor and motivated steward of our water, energy and land and do our part to reduce food waste.

As a global branded food company, we know how to create beloved brands, and as we do we never lose sight of the fact that we have a higher obligation to use our size and scale to help feed the world’s growing population. We believe in good food being available to everyone as we ensure access to foods that are affordable, safe, nutritious and delicious. We have focused on transparency and cleaner labels with foods that are simpler with more recognizable ingredients and helping people feel good about the food choices they make. We have also used our expertise to produce food that gives back – from our childhood hunger relief efforts in Guatemala with Project SPAMMY® to creating products designed for those undergoing cancer treatment, we will continue to lead the way in creating products that improve the lives of others.
