20 Tyson Foods, Inc.
Each year at the annual shareholders meeting, the
Company recognizes a group of special people called
Tyson Heroes. These are people who give of themselves –
their time, their resources, their understanding – to make
the world a better place. Their actions range from lending
a hand to those in need, to volunteering for worthy causes
to saving lives. Tyson Heroes exemplify the Tyson spirit
of community service, volunteerism and helping those
in need.
It is not only the Heroes who have an impact in their
communities. Across the country Tyson team members
are making a difference in their hometowns. But
sometimes a tragedy is one that affects the entire
country. In February, the tragic breakup of the space
shuttle Columbia brought team members and others
together to aid in the search for debris. In January and
again in May, when tornadoes struck the Midwest, Tyson
people immediately responded to the needs of their
neighbors by providing meals for relief workers and
people displaced by the storms, feeding nearly 1,000
people a day.
Tyson team members are active in churches, chambers
of commerce, libraries, the March of Dimes, local food
pantries, the United Way, Boys and Girls Clubs, Big
Brothers, Big Sisters, blood drives, the American Cancer
Society, the American Heart Association, the Race for the
Cure and on and on. There are as many stories as there
are team members – 120,000.
Christy Whitney is one of more than 75 environmental
compliance professionals who ensure Tyson Foods lives
up to our responsibility as a steward of the environment
and as a good neighbor.
