10. We believe
that food
can be good,
delicious,
and
accessible—
all three,
without
compromise.
It’s an idea
pioneered
by our founders.

11. We believe we have a duty greater
than just that of generating returns
for our shareholders.
A duty to the earth.
A duty to our communities.
A duty to our people.

12. But the world is changing.
The consumer is changing.
Who they are is changing.
Millennials are the
largest generation
in U.S. history.
2050 is the year the
Hispanic population
will become the
majority
population
in the United States.
The rising global
middle class:

The growth of packaged fresh foods and
expansion of multi-channel shopping.
14. The world is changing.
The consumer is changing.
What they care about is changing.
More than half of
consumers ages 18-34 say
that if price and quality are
equal, a brand’s
social purpose
is the most important
factor when they’re
buying something.
>60%Agreed with the statement
“By choosing to do business
with companies that are
more socially responsible,
I can make a difference in
this world.”

15. We make real food for real
people. They trust us to
provide food and drink that
is good, honest, authentic,
and flavorful—made from
ingredients that are grown,
prepared, cooked, or baked
with care. People love that
our food fits their real lives,
fuels their bodies, and
feeds their souls. And they
appreciate knowing what
goes into our food, and why—
so they can feel good about
the choices they make, for
themselves and their
loved ones.

16. The standards we must
always uphold:
+ Put safety above all else—
because if we don’t, nothing
else matters.
+ Craft every product around the
lives of the real people who rely
on it: Delicious, readily available
when and where they need it,
at a fair price.
+ Be open and honest about the
food we make—transparent about
our ingredients and processes,
and inclusive in our engagement
with the stakeholders who care.
+ Never stop looking for ways to
improve the ingredients, taste,
quality, and accessibility of
our food.
15
17. What we do every day matters.
Families of all kinds rely on our
foods. Our people rely on us for
a challenging and supportive
workplace. Our customers rely
on us to help them meet the
needs of their customers,
profitably. Communities rely
on us to help them thrive.
And our shareholders rely on
us for solid, sustainable returns.
We make the biggest impact for
all these groups when we set,
and meet, high goals—as a
business, and as good stewards
of the natural resources we
all share.
16
18. We have a responsibility
to drive sustainability,
from field to spoon.
Cut environmental footprint
of our product portfolio
in half by 2020
Help our communities
to thrive 17
21. We make real food for
real
people. They trust us to
provide food and drink
that
is good, honest,
authentic,
and flavorful—made
from
ingredients that are
grown,
prepared, cooked, or
baked
with care. People love
that
our food fits their real
lives,
fuels their bodies, and
feeds their souls. And
Our food encourages people
to pause and savor life’s
moments. Whether shared
or enjoyed alone, every
single product we make
connects people—to each
other, to warm memories, to
what’s important today—and
invites them to live those
moments a little more richly.

+ IBM’s purpose is “to be essential.” A
company that’s deemed an essential partner
to the organizations, governments, and
people of the world.
+ Look at IBM’s history and you can see this
has been true at every turn…businesses
they have entered and exited…products
launched, companies acquired.
+ This spirit brought IBM back from the brink
of bankruptcy in 1993: Gerstner stripped
company back to only what was essential.
+ Now this guides IBM’s external agenda with
the world (Let’s build a smarter planet)
+ And it guides internal behavior
(1 purpose, 3 values, 9 practices)
+ Let’s look at another company — a mass
consumer brand.
+ Nike’s purpose is “To bring inspiration and
innovation to every athlete in the world.”
And by the way, they say, *If you have a
body, you are an athlete.
+ Nike believes that if they help people feel
like winners, they will win. They focus on the
consumer, not the competition.
+ Persistent belief in power of food to
connect people.
+ Has shown up in everything from our
product development to our advertising to
our packaging.
+ Another persistent belief is that food can
be good, delicious and accessible--all
three, without compromise.
+ Which means, we have always had a
pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit: constant
experimentation and innovation in pursuit of
this goal.
+ This is an idea pioneered by our
founders.
+ Our third persistent belief: we believe
we have a duty greater than just
that of generating returns to our
shareholders.
+ We also have a duty to...
+ The earth that provides our raw materials
+ The communities that support us
+ The people who bring their talents through
our doors each day
+ We’re now facing forces of the future
that are testing us like never before:
Demographics, transparency, attitudes,
technology-driven social change, health,
shopping habits etc...all the “seismic shifts”
we have talked about
+ Because we are “consumer first”, we look
at this through the lens of consumers,
and how they are changing.
+ Who they are is changing
+ By 2050, the majority population in the US
will be Hispanic.
+ Today, the world’s middle class is 2bn strong
of whom 28% are in Asia. By 2030 it will
be 4.9bn strong, with 66% in Asia.
+ Millennials are largest generation in U.S.
history: By 2030, 79M of them versus 56M
boomers.

I want to read the beliefs because there is real power in these words.
