At the J.R. Simplot Company, we have an 80 year history of challenging ourselves to find new ways to improve in everything that we do, including our efforts toward sustainability.

Sustainability is about the whole system of producing food, not just the agricultural side. Our commitment to sustainability reaches across the Company. We have a responsibility to make our company better tomorrow than it is today. When we celebrate our accomplishments, we do so while noting that there is always more to do.

Producing more with less of our earth's resources is not only good for business but it is truly the right thing to do. Being a sustainable company means developing technologies and systems that have the potential to decrease the land, energy and water needed to produce the enormous amount of food required to feed a growing world population.  It also involves social sustainability, which is our role in supporting a safe work environment and in investing in our communities. We approach sustainability as a core value in everything we do.  It is how we do business, ensuring a long-term, generational Company for the future.
