Rich Products Releases First Responsible Business Report

Rich's set a goal to reduce emissions intensity from its operations by 25% by 2025, compared to a 2016 baseline. The company is exceeding that goal, with a 34% reduction achieved through 2024, and is actively developing its science-aligned target for 2026.
Global food company Rich Products announced the release of its inaugural Responsible Business Report, highlighting how the company embeds social and environmental commitments into the way it operates, innovates and grows.
Grounded in Rich's values as a family-owned business, the report brings together decades of purpose-driven actions and initiatives into a clear framework to drive accountability, transparency and long-term value for its associates, customers and communities.
Rich's 2025 Responsible Business Report highlights the progress the company is making against its responsible business strategy, Generations of Good, focuses on three key areas:
- Renewing Planet – advancing efforts to reduce environmental impact and protect critical resources.
- Nourishing Plates – innovating with purpose to deliver the quality, transparency, and trust consumers expect.
- Prioritizing People – putting people first to help Rich's associates, customers and communities grow.
"As a family-owned food company, we believe a responsible business is a resilient business," said Jennifer VanDewater, vice president, enterprise sustainability, health & authenticity, Rich Products. "This may be our first formal report, but the foundation of Generations of Good has guided our operations for more than 80 years. Grounded in our values and brought to life by our people, it's about making decisions today that strengthen our business tomorrow, creating lasting value for generations of associates, customers and communities."
Rich's is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and taking meaningful action to address climate change across its operations.
