Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) announced the company and individual plants
received 80 awards from the North American Meat Institute (NAMI).
The global protein leader received the Community Wellness Award,
for its leadership in fighting hunger and food insecurity through
protein donations to regional food banks and community pantry
partners across the nation. In fiscal year 2022, Tyson Foods
donated more than 18 million pounds of protein, the equivalent of
72 million servings of protein, to food banks, pantries and hunger
relief organizations in Tyson Foods plant communities and across
the nation.
“NAMI commends Tyson Foods and its leadership for continuing to
ensure their products contribute to a sustainable and healthy food
system,” said NAMI President and CEO Julie Anna Potts. “Tyson
Foods’ dedication to sustainably reducing the protein gap
demonstrates why they’re a leader in the industry year after
year.”
NAMI awarded companies based on 2022 data shared for The Protein
PACT, through which NAMI and its members are uniting in an industry
led effort to accelerate the animal protein sector’s progress
towards sustainable development goals. The Community Wellness award
is the top honor in the Health and Wellness category.
NAMI also recognized Tyson Foods’ commitment to promoting and
implementing a diversity, equity and inclusion strategy to
celebrate the unique culture of team members and provide a
collective voice in how the company does business. Criteria for the
award included companies that placed priority on recruitment,
retention, community engagement, values, leadership and
accountability.
Seventy-eight plants and other facilities received recognition
for their environmental management practices. The Environmental
Recognition Award recognizes a company’s dedication to continuous
environmental compliance improvement, as witnessed by the
development and implementation of Environmental Management Systems
(EMS).
“It’s an honor to be recognized for the steps Tyson Foods is
taking to continuously monitor and build upon its environmental
compliance assurance initiatives,” said Steve Patrick, vice
president of environmental operations, Tyson Foods. “We are proud
of our team’s efforts to implement plants to operate in an
environmentally responsible manner in those communities where we
live and work.”
The EMS model is designed to drive continual, measurable
improvements in the environmental compliance performance of Tyson’s
operations. In addition, The EMS, modeled after ISO 14001, is also
designed to minimize the environmental footprint of our operations
in the communities where we work and live, support achievement of
our environmental goals.
The recognition awards are categorized by four tiers to
encourage EMS development through a step-by-step approach. Tier 1
recognizes compliance policies and Tier 4 represents the highest
level of environmental management. Please see below for the full
list of Tyson plant award winners. More information on the awards
