At Sterling Foods, we strive to set the gold standard in everything we do, from the products we make, to the way we treat our employees, to the commitments we uphold to our investors, to the communities and environment in which we live.  We believe that doing the right thing sets the foundation for long-term success, and we are passionate about operating our business with integrity and accountability.  We are poised to be bold, flexible and innovative in our efforts to create positive change.  Our corporate responsibility mission is extended to our suppliers, vendors and other associates, as we require they demonstrate respect for people and human rights and employ responsible environmental practices.  Corporate responsibility must be the foundation for our operating principles and must guide our commitments and associations.  Sterling Foods is, and will continue to be, a positive contributor and a force for future improvements.

As a company, we proudly support our community via both local and national charities. Our support comes in the forms of financial contributions, employee volunteer work and product donations. We continually encourage staff members to connect with their communities by allowing time to support causes of their choice.

Sterling Foods makes every effort to reduce, reuse and recycle in order to protect our environment.   Whenever possible, we use products made from recycled and recyclable materials and also participate in programs to recycle paper, glass, aluminum and other materials.  Our leadership team is dedicated to energy and natural resource conservation, advancing these efforts with a focus on efficiency improvements in production, packaging, logistics, and our office environment.
