MARKETING PARTNERSHIPS
As you can see Whole Foods Market is a grocery store with much more to offer. It’s a community hub, a place to meet like-minded people and learn about a healthy lifestyle.
Each store has a commitment to its local community and like minded businesses, in fact we even have dedicated team members in every store responsible for building long term, mutually beneficial relationships.
We know we’ve always been a little out of the ordinary. Those 19 people who started our first store were quite an idealistic bunch!
Early on, we adopted a set of core values to guide our purpose:
- Selling the highest quality natural and organic products available
- Satisfying and delighting our customers
- Supporting team member happiness and excellence
- Creating wealth through profits & growth
- Caring about our communities & our environment
- Creating ongoing win-win partnerships with our suppliers
- Promoting the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education
We now number over 50,000 team members world wide (600 in the UK) and are glad to report that our idealism and commitment to our core values are as strong as ever (sit in on a meeting and you’ll hear team members asking questions like “How does that action support our Core Values?” It’s a tough crowd!).
Yes, we are a publicly held company and have to make a profit to survive in the marketplace. But we’ve proven that a company can do good and do well if the doing comes from the heart. Luckily, our success helps us bring about change in the marketplace, which we hope will lead to good things for you and us and the planet.
If you believe your organisation has a great idea for a marketing venture or community endeavour which strike a chord with our core values, please get in touch. From private store tours, partnerships with gyms, chefs and communities to external events - the world is our oyster. Contact us via our contact page.
