Perdue Farms has announced the launch of its Fiscal Year 2021 Company Stewardship Report. Now in its second century of business, the company notes progress made in the key target areas and reinforces its stewardship platform: We believe in responsible food and agriculture. The report highlights how the company’s sustainability efforts align with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
“As we reflect on the past year, one of uncertainty, unprecedented challenges and hope amid a global pandemic, it reminds us of what's most important – the health and safety of our associates, our family and friends, and the strength of our communities. We also completed our 100th year in business as a family-owned American company,” says Perdue Farms Chairman Jim Perdue.
