Launch

Our Philosophy

At Wrigley, we know that our continued success depends heavily on the prosperity and sustainability of the global marketplace that we serve.

Our founder, Wm. Wrigley Jr., first established the importance of mutually beneficial relationships back in 1891 - when he stressed that shared success, with customers, suppliers, employees and the communities where we live and work - was vital to building a business that would last for generations.

This same commitment to creating a business and a legacy that will last for generations is behind Wrigley's focus on sustainability and our commitment to sound environmental, social, and economic practices.

Today, more than ever, sustainability is one of our leading priorities, and we have committed our people, our resources, and our innovative energy to improving our environmental profile and advancing the well-being of our associates and our neighbors around the world.

Our Definition

Sustainability means driving business performance while advancing the well-being of people, and the planet, now and for future generations.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to weave sound environmental, social and economic practices into everyday business decisions at Wrigley – making it second nature in everything we do.


Our Strategic Focus

To ensure we’re making advances towards operating as a more sustainable company, we are focusing on the areas where we believe we can make the biggest impact; including our Operations, Packaging, Product, and our Communities.

Within each of these areas of focus, we have identified next steps to ensure we continually raise the bar.
