Sustainability

Core Responsibility:
Since the beginning, RFL has been supporting families and converting life easily. Our food grade & recycled products for people and their families are a foundation for the strong family connections central to wellness and a high quality of life. We're proud that our efforts to bring good & full of quality products to the table are grounded in a deep respect for the natural resources of this earth. We know that the success of our business relies on a healthy environment, and in our growers' fields and across our own operations, we're doing all we can to be good stewards of our planet's resources. Equally important is our attention to the relationships we have established within our family of employees, our suppliers, customers, and the communities in which we live and work. We will continue to reach out and build on these connections to ensure that we're delivering the products people want in the most sustainable way possible. We invite you to join us on this journey, and welcome your comments and feedback.

Sustainability Policy
We're passionate about bringing high-quality, healthy, and recycled products to people in a way that protects the environment, builds strong ties to our communities, and enables our Company to grow and flourish. For us, sustainability reflects the balanced consideration of people, planet, and performance. As such, we believe the following tenets are central to our sustainability efforts:
  • People Focus. We are a people-driven organization committed to the well-being of our employees, our consumers, and the communities in which we live and work.
  • Stewardship of Natural Resources. Our Company's success is based on preserving a healthy natural environment. We work to ensure the lasting productivity of our growers' fields through lower-impact environmental practices, and strive to reduce our operational environmental footprint by eliminating waste and minimizing our use of materials, energy, and water.
  • Quality and Innovation. For over three decades, we've delivered quality products that are safe and nutritious. We will continue to update our product portfolio to bring families and their support a broad range of choices.

Environment sustainability
We rely on nature's bounty to bring our products to millions of families across the country. Our direct connection to the earth's resources reinforces our longstanding commitment to stewardship and responsible operation. By minimizing the impacts of growing, processing, packaging, and distributing our products, we're not only helping to protect the air, land, and water; we're also ensuring our own long-term success. Many of the same initiatives that we've implemented to cut down on our use of energy, water, and materials also save money-meaning that what's good for the environment is also good for our business. We will continue to identify areas where we can improve, put new programs in place, and measure our progress.

DISTRIBUTION
  • 7% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions through improved efficiency in RFL transportation network. Since 2007, we have achieved a 6% reduction.
PACKAGING
  • 15% reduction in packaging materials. We have identified our packaging material source mix and achieved a 9% reduction in packaging materials since 2007.

Employees benefit
RFL employee benefits are designed to provide employees the flexibility to select a package of coverage that meets their unique needs. Benefits are available to employees and their dependents, including children, spouses, and domestic partners. Benefits may include medical, dental, and vision insurance; short and long-term disability insurance; life insurance; paid time off for vacation and holiday; savings plans; and employee assistance programs & world tour. In addition to this wide range of benefits, we offer additional benefits that we believe help our employees improve their quality of life. These include an adoption assistance program, community service day allocation, matching gift program and floating holidays.

Workplace diversity
RFL is committed to promoting and preserving a workplace environment rich in diversity - one in which individual differences are not simply tolerated or accepted, but truly appreciated. Diversity encompasses universally recognized traits such as race, gender and national origin; however, it also includes less obvious individual differences such as socioeconomic background and personal lifestyle. Our philosophy holds to the belief that promoting these differences in the workplace is a means of encouraging personal and organizational growth and contribution, and enabling individuals and teams. Furthermore, workplace diversity reflects the changing face of the American workforce and population, as well as our customer base. RFL commitment to diversity is consistent with our shared values: Winning Together, Respect, Ownership and Courage. We are a Company respected in the industry for delivering results.

Professional development
Professional development is an integral part of our performance system and links to our core values and competencies. Employees are encouraged to participate in opportunities and programs that will contribute to their ability to deliver value and ensure further growth and success for themselves and the Company. We offer specific developmental programs to help employees meet organizational objectives, enhance their careers, and maintain a consistently high level of performance. These opportunities includes
  • Managers provide internal learning opportunities by working closely with employees to structure appropriate on-the-job activities to meet identified developmental needs.
  • External programs and professional certifications are provided at seminars, conferences or other specialized workshops.
