Nourishing Our Employees

Overview

We define “Winning in the Workplace” as delivering a superior employment experience to our employees that reflects our values and delivers on our promise of “Campbell Valuing People, People Valuing Campbell.”

At Campbell, we know that our long-term success depends on our ability to maximize shareowner value. To achieve success, we know we must “Win in the Community” and “Win in the Marketplace.” And, we know that in order to win in these two key areas, we must first “Win in the Workplace.”

Over time, we have worked to create an innovative, flexible, fun, and engaging culture where employees feel welcomed, recognized, included, rewarded, developed, nourished, and inspired. This culture has also empowered our employees to take an active role in corporate social responsibility and sustainability by managing environmental resources, supporting our local communities, and advancing nutrition and wellness in our product portfolio. We have added a CSR and sustainability goal to our employees' annual performance objectives to recognize their efforts and help us reach our destination goal of 100% employee engagement in CSR and sustainability business strategies.

Our commitment to the Campbell culture is reflected by both our Employee Promise of “Campbell Valuing People, People Valuing Campbell” as well as our Employee Value Proposition:

Campbell ... the ingredients to be extraordinary where icon brands thrive, people are valued, and you can make a difference.
