Perdue Farms unveiled its Fiscal Year 2024 Company Stewardship
Report today, highlighting how associates across the entire
organization helped deliver on commitments to consumers, customers
and farmers, all while living up to the company’s promise to
protect the planet and ultimately leave it better for the next
generation.
The milestones marked and progress showcased in this new report
demonstrate strides toward fostering sustainability in global food
systems while meeting growing demand for our products. This
includes progress against our goals like diverting 96.8 percent of
solid waste from landfills in FY24 and reducing our greenhouse gas
intensity by 3.6 percent in the same timeframe.
Published during our 104th year, the report also shows the
consistency in how Perdue Farms aligns its operations with its
values of quality, integrity, teamwork and stewardship, continuing
to uphold its vision to be the most trusted name in food and
agricultural products.
“Our goals are ambitious and enterprise-wide for a reason
– we want to be the most trusted name in food and agricultural
products, and we know that kind of trust is hard-earned. That’s
why, in our second century as a company, we are not wavering on our
promise to create a more sustainable future while also continuing
to satisfy our customers and consumers with high-quality, better
tasting foods,” said Kevin McAdams, chief executive officer for
Perdue Farms. “We only thrive because of our valued teams working
in every area of our business, and I am grateful to our more than
20,000 associates and 9,000 farmers and ranchers whose dedication
allows us to provide superior quality products that will help raise
a better future.”
In addition to reporting on environmental stewardship progress

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the report also:
