The Hershey Company

Our annual reports have highlighted our community support, something that has been true since our founding and long before reporting. We have helped build communities, create sustainable value chains and helped children and youth thrive.

The Hershey Company is proud that its U.S. business has been Certified™ by Great Place to Work®. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Hershey.

In January of 2020, my team at Hershey made a bold and, frankly, scary decision.

With more than 500 employees at our Memphis manufacturing facility, Memphis is one of the places that Hershey employees call home and an important place for us to make a difference locally.

Our pledge to invest half a billion dollars in these communities by 2030 is translating to meaningful results on the ground, helping to keep children in school, helping to diversify and increase incomes, giving farmers the support to build thriving businesses and protecting forests.

The Hershey Company celebrated its 10th year of being named an honoree of The Civic 50 by Points of Light, the world's largest non-profit dedicated to accelerating people-powered change.

In Hershey’s newly launched 2021 ESG Report, we’ve made a formal commitment to quadruple our current spend with diverse suppliers by 2030.

Hershey's holistic ESG strategy, known as its Shared Goodness Promise, guides the company to make a positive impact at scale and leverage its business to advance more sustainable growth with socially conscious and responsible business practices.

When The Hershey Company first approached our organization, Memphis Music Initiative (MMI), about a partnership, I was excited but cautious. The Hershey brand has a strong reputation both for their products and community engagement efforts.

In 2021, we joined a challenge to reduce energy intensity by 10% within five years. The Hershey Brazil manufacturing team achieved that goal four years ahead of schedule through the work of innovative employees and the support of Hershey Green Teams.
