Our Responsibility

A Message From Our CEO Kevin McAdams

At Perdue Farms, everything we do is grounded in a simple belief: the way we produce food matters.

It matters—to the families who place their trust in us, to the partners and customers who depend on our quality, and to the associates, farmers, and communities where we live and work—who make our success possible. And it matters to the future we are helping to shape.

That belief is what drives us—and it continues to guide our vision to be the most trusted name in food and agricultural products as we build for the future.

In a world where expectations are evolving and the connection between food, people, and the environment is more visible than ever, our responsibility is clear. We must continue to raise our standards, strengthen how we operate, and ensure that our positive impact extends well beyond our business.

The FY26 Company Stewardship Report reflects how we are doing that.

Across our company, our associates, and our network of independent family farm partners are united by a shared purpose: Raising a Better Future. It is a purpose that comes to life every day through how we care for animals, how we protect natural resources, how we support our communities, and how we show up for one another.

It is also reflected in how we run our business. We are committed to delivering safe, high-quality food, operating responsibly, and building a company that is strong, resilient, and positioned for the long term.

That requires continuous focus, thoughtful decisions, and a willingness to improve every day. We’re proud of the progress we have made while recognizing there is more to do. Earning trust is an ongoing responsibility, one that requires us to stay true to our values of Quality, Integrity, Teamwork, and Stewardship while continuing to evolve and improve.

As a family-owned company in our second century, we take a long-term view of what stewardship means. It is not defined by any single initiative, but by the consistency of our actions and the integrity of our decisions over time. It means ensuring that the choices we make today strengthen our company, support our partners, and preserve the resources entrusted to us for future generations.

We truly believe that business can be a force for good, but how we operate matters just as much as what we produce. Thank you for the trust you place in Perdue Farms and for the role you play in helping us fulfill that responsibility. Together, we will continue Raising a Better Future.
