Our Purpose Statement
-
Though much has changed since George A. Hormel first founded Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in 1891, the company is still proudly based in Austin, Minn., and the values on which it was founded — integrity, an uninterrupted quest for quality and innovation, a respect for one another and a commitment to community — still define Hormel Foods today.

I take personal accountability for delivering Key Results and always ask, ‘What else can I do?’.

I ensure employee safety, food safety, and safe animal handling practices.

I listen, voice my opinion, and encourage up and down communications with focused feedback.

I grow talent by creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and values differences.

I overcome barriers and work cross-functionally to deliver results.

I deliver ideas that improve the lives of consumers, inspire meal choices and drive customer satisfaction.

I embrace change, innovation and strategic risk taking.
