Economic Impact

Sharing the Fruits of Our Success

The good things Heinz brings to life reach far beyond the dining room table. Thanks to strong fiscal results fueled by investments in marketing, research and development and innovation.

Heinz employs approximately 32,500 people and pays competitive wages that comply with local laws and typically exceed the prevailing local minimum wage standards. In addition, almost all employees at our manufacturing facilities are drawn from the surrounding communities, thereby supporting the vitality of local economies.

We also make a positive impact by funding retirement benefit plans. Pension plans are available to many employees. And on a larger scale, our status as a major employee greatly enhances the tax revenue of the communities and even the nations where we do business.

And finally, our charitable contributions have made a powerful impact on the communities where we live and work, with an emphasis on promoting the health, nutrition and well-being of children and families.

Quality & Safety


Truth in Labeling

Truth in labeling has been a hallmark of Heinz for 140 years. Our product labeling meets the highest standards for clarity and accuracy and also conforms to the unique requirements of every country in which we sell our products. So you can rest assured that our labels contain the most accurate and up-to-date information about our ingredients and the nutritional value of every Heinz product.


Our Global Quality Strategy

The Heinz Global Quality Strategy is proof of our commitment to focusing on risk assessment and prevention, sharing global best practices, achieving consistent product performance and implementing continuous improvement.

In tandem with our Global Quality Risk Management Process, our Global Quality Strategy assesses a wide range of factors across our operations and helps clarify, with the help of third-party auditors, where to make capital improvements, further develop employee training and maximize resource allocation.


Trust Heinz to Bring Value to the Table

We understand the cost of feeding a family. You want to serve them the healthiest, most nutritious foods, but value is also important, and you're often watching every penny.
