At Upfield our mission is clear: Driving positive change; making the planet and people healthier and happier
People around the world are embracing plant-based foods for both health and ethical reasons. Our vision for a "Better Plant-Based Future" drives positive change in people's health, their daily lives and our planet's sustainability. In our main plant-based categories of butters & spreads, creams, liquids and cheeses, we have developed great-tasting products, that taste and perform as well as animal-based, but are made from plants. We believe that this is the future of food: food that is healthier and more sustainable for people and the planet, and that tastes really good.
We are the largest plant-based consumer product company in the world. We're new but our brands are not.
We have iconic brands, in the U.S. and Canada. This includes Country Crock, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Becel and Violife. We've been a trusted category leader in dairy butter alternatives since 1871 and yet we feel like we're only just getting started.
Performance, Passion and Care define who we are as a company, how we work every day, and the responsibility we feel toward our Associates, our consumers, our business partners and our world.
