Our Values Shape Our Past, Present, and Future
More than a century ago, on the Perdue family farm in Salisbury, Maryland, a simple belief took hold: do what’s right, even when it’s not the easiest path.
From that belief came the values that still define us today — Quality, Integrity, Teamwork, and Stewardship. These values have guided every generation of Perdue associates. They shape how we raise food, care for animals, support our people and farmers, and serve our communities. They’re not slogans; they’re the standards we live by and the lens through which we make decisions.
And they’re the reason our vision matters. Our aspiration to be the most trusted name in food and agricultural products is rooted in this legacy of responsibility. We continue to earn trust the same way we always have — through our actions, every day.
Quality
We live up to the standards and expectations of Our Quality Policy, penned under the direction of Frank Perdue. Everyone in the Perdue organization shares this responsibility.
Integrity
We do the right thing for the right reason and always keep our promises.
Teamwork
We work together to accomplish something greater than one person could alone. We value and protect the safety of others. We make each other successful.
Stewardship
We protect our environment, ensure the well-being of our associates, provide for the welfare of the animals in our care, live up to our civic responsibilities, and generate earnings for the future of our company.
