“Wyandot Snacks has always been for the community, and supporting those around us,” says Sexton. “The certification did not change how we do business, but rather provided a means to communicate our efforts in a single voice. It goes back to what our struggle has been in years past, ‘What does sustainability mean?’ Now we can say, ‘We are a Certified B Corp., and we follow a global set of standards to propel business as a force for good.’”
That’s a clear message to an increasingly competitive and consolidated snack industry—and one that will help propel Wyandot Snacks moving forward. “Our vision continues to be focused on being the leading snack manufacturing partner on innovation as it relates to better-for-you products,” says Hritz.
“The best part of working at Wyandot is the team-based culture, and that all voices matter,” says Sexton. “Leadership also values continued education, career development, and strongly supports new and working moms. I would like to continue to pay it forward, and help those around me grow to be their best just as others have help me in the past,” she notes.
“What I enjoy most is the team—their talents and our collaboration,” says Hritz. “We have an unselfish group, from top to bottom, that puts the success of our customers and the well-being of our community first. I aspire to serve others and to have a positive impact on those I meet.” SF&WB
