Our Commitment: A Letter from the President
The success of Seaboard Foods as a leading integrated food company of premium pork products stems from a strong set of core commitments. The company's dedication to these commitments is intertwined in our daily activities and a significant reason why Seaboard Foods enjoys much success in the marketplace.
Our goal at Seaboard Foods is to be the best and this is what separates Seaboard Foods from other companies. To be the best, we must make a positive impact on everyone we touch, produce safe and wholesome products our customers want, create a safe workplace for our employees, protect and lessen our impact on the environment, treat animals humanely and enrich the communities in which we operate. These are the core commitments of Seaboard Foods.
In this report, you will learn how Seaboard Foods demonstrates its core commitments to employees, the environment, animal care, communities, quality and customers. Because of these core commitments, Seaboard Foods is able to minimize risk while maximizing the benefits from our business activities. And even more important, these core commitments shape our values and hold us accountable for our actions.
Seaboard Foods' values directly reflect those of our parent company, Seaboard Corporation. Since its beginning in 1918 with a flour mill, operating a responsible, sustainable business has been part of Seaboard Corporation's culture.
With great pride, I witness every day my fellow team members at Seaboard Foods going beyond the call of duty to fulfill these commitments. Although this report will only give you a glimpse of our business, I'm confident you will understand our core commitments are an integral part of Seaboard Foods’ ongoing efforts to be the best in the industry.
 Rod K. Brenneman President & CEO Seaboard Foods
