Oversight & strategy:
a healthier place
to work and live
At Simplot, we take our responsibility to our customers,
employees, and the communities in which we work and
live seriously. That’s why we have developed a broader
framework that reaches beyond typical “green” concerns.
The resulting partnership between the Company and our
employees creates a positive culture to both underpin and
advance the health, wellness, prosperity, and sustainability
of our entire organization.
• Environmental—We preserve environmental quality
and soundness in all areas through the development
of new pollution prevention and control methods, and
by anticipating and adhering to emerging regulations
governing environmental impacts, while continually
examining practices for opportunities to improve.
• Health and Safety—We foster safe and healthy
workplaces by including employees as active participants
in the process, resulting in proactive systems that
reduce risk and maximize awareness.
• Security—Our security-oriented culture protects not
only our employees, but also our customers, suppliers,
and communities. We evaluate potential vulnerabilities
with an eye toward producing prudent plans to eliminate
risks associated in any way with the manufacturing and
distribution of Simplot products.
• Energy—We seek to remain a leader in energy
efficiency and conservation throughout the supply
chain. We train employees in best practices, partner with
suppliers to reduce their energy footprints, reach out to
our home communities on issues of conservation, and
work hard to drive waste from processes.
The ultimate goal is to forge a leadership role for our
Company with facilities that ensure a safe food supply, help
preserve the environment, and improve the quality of life for
our employees and the communities in which we operate.
