Chief Technology Officer | Profile |
Headquartered in Smithfield, Va. since 1936, Smithfield Foods, Inc. is an American food company with agricultural roots and a global reach. With more than 60,000 jobs globally, we are dedicated to producing "Good food. Responsibly®" and serve as one of the world`s leading vertically integrated protein companies. We have pioneered sustainability standards for more than two decades, including our industry-leading commitments to become carbon negative in U.S. company-owned operations and reduce GHG emissions 30 percent across our entire U.S. value chain by 2030. We believe in the power of protein to end food insecurity and have donated hundreds of millions of food servings to our communities. Smithfield boasts a portfolio of high-quality iconic brands, such as Smithfield®, Eckrich® and Nathan`s Famous®, among many others.
We began with a vision for a plant-based food that would have all the qualities we relish in the best artisan dairy cheeses. We believe the best part of eating is the togetherness of a shared meal, and we wanted to create products that everyone can enjoy, whether eating a dairy-free diet or just curious about a healthier lifestyle. We assembled a team that figured out how to use traditional cheese-making techniques but using nut milk instead of milk from an animal. Through this process, we were able to create a line of revolutionary products that you can feel good about eating. Once we unlocked the secret to making nut milks behaving like cow’s milk, the options were endless. Today, we offer a variety of delicious products including artisan delicacies, nut milk yogurts, and pastas.
As the leading nutrition, health and wellness company, we are committed to enhancing people`s lives, everywhere, every day. We strive to make our brands tastier and healthier choices that help consumers care for themselves and their families, thus earning their trust and recommendations to others. Delivering on this commitment enables us to create long-term sustainable value for our consumers and customers, for our communities, for our shareholders and for our employees. We believe that leadership is about behaviour, and we recognise that trust is earned over a long period of time by consistently delivering on our promises. Nestlé believes that it is only possible to create long-term sustainable value for our shareholders if our behaviour, strategies and operations also create value for the communities where we operate, for our business partners, our employees and of course, for our consumers. We call this `creating shared value`. Nestlé can trace its origins back to 1866, when the first European condensed milk factory was opened in Cham, Switzerland, by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. One year later, Henri Nestlé, a trained pharmacist, launched one of the world`s first prepared infant cereals `Farine lactée` in Vevey, Switzerland. Today, with our headquarters still based in the Swiss town of Vevey, we had sales of CHF 91.6 bn. in 2014. We employ over 330,000 people and have factories or operations in almost every country in the world.
Since 1846, the name Hood has been synonymous with fresh, quality dairy products that taste great. Always good. Always Hood.
