This report is dedicated to the generations of Heinz employees who built this great company. In honor of their legacy, we commit ourselves to continued growth, nutrition, value and ethical behavior — all in keeping with Heinz’s promise of Good Food, Every Day .
H.J. Heinz Company Our Promise It is my privilege to introduce the inaugural H.J. Heinz Company Corporate Social Responsibility Report. This year in the United States, we mark the centennial of the Pure Food and Drug Act — a law unequivocally supported by our founder, H.J. Heinz, whose unyielding commitment to safe, quality products helped to create the modern packaged food industry. “I appreciate the loyalty with which your father and all of his staff stood by me in the darkest hours of my fight for pure food. I feel that I should have lost the fight if I had not that assistance,” wrote Dr. Harvey White, the leading crusader within the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the landmark 1906 law, to Howard Heinz, who took over the business when H.J. Heinz died in 1919. As only the fifth chairman in our remarkable 137-year history, and caretaker of the powerful legacy of the Heinz brand — one of the most trusted and revered brands throughout the world — I speak on behalf of the thousands of Heinz employees past and present to say we remain committed to improving the lives of consumers with Good Food, Every Day. Our values, handed down through the generations, extend beyond our promise to our consumers. They include ensuring our business practices are ethical; our people treat each other with dignity and respect; that we participate in the civic and cultural and charitable life of the communities in which we operate; and that we are sensitive to the impact our operations have on the environment. GOOD FOOD, EVERY DAY HEINZ | 3 By pushing ourselves every day to achieve these goals, we are making our business stronger, more sustainable and socially responsible. H.J. would expect nothing less. At Heinz, we celebrate our successes, while always seeking avenues for improvement. With the production of our first corporate social responsibility report, we are setting a high bar for achievement for all of our corporate goals, and we look forward to straightforward measurement of our progress in future reports. H.J. Heinz proved the purity of his first product, horseradish, by bottling it in clear glass so consumers could see that, unlike some of his peers who used colored glass, he wasn’t putting chemicals and cheap fillers into his recipes. In this spirit, we are steadfast in being transparent in all the things we do to ensure we are accountable to our communities, consumers, customers, employees and shareholders. Thank you for your interest in learning more about our company. We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue to serve you well. Sincerely, William R. Johnson Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer
