Our founder, Milton
S. Hershey, established an enduring model of responsible citizenship while creating a successful business. Making a difference in our communities, driving sustainable business practices and operating with the highest integrity are vital parts of our
heritage and shapes our future.

Milton Hershey School, established by Milton and Catherine Hershey, lies at the center of our unique
heritage. Mr. Hershey donated and bequeathed almost his entire fortune to the Milton Hershey School, which remains our primary beneficiary and provides a world-class education and nurturing home to nearly 2,000 children in need annually.

In addition, we have developed a Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) program, with a focus on current and past employee
involvement, to advance this legacy. Key elements of this program include:

 







  

Integrity in Business

Supporting our Employees

SIZE="2">Building on this foundation, we play an active role in improving the communities where we work, live and do business around the world through our efforts in community relations, supply chain sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Our employees and retirees share their time and resources generously in their communities. Both directly and through the United Way, we
contribute to hundreds of agencies that deliver much needed services and resources. Our focus on “Kids and Kids at Risk” is supported through the Children’s Miracle Network, Family Health International and a children’s burn
center in Guadalajara, Mexico, to name a few of the organizations we support.

We’re a leader in working to improve the lives of cocoa
farming families through our active engagement and financial support for the World Cocoa Foundation, the International Cocoa Initiative, Farmer Field Schools, the Sustainable Tree Crops program and other key initiatives.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">We practice environmental stewardship by reducing our natural resource use, waste and greenhouse gas emissions, improving the environmental
sustainability of our packaging and supporting environmentally sound cocoa farming and environmental organizations.

Through our business,
we educate and engage employees and customers about these efforts to maximize their returns for society as well as financial stakeholders.
