As one of the world’s leading bakery companies we know leadership goes well beyond our day-to-day commitment to helping customers grow their businesses; it’s also our collective responsibility to make a positive impact with our team members, in our communities and around the world.
It all starts at home, with our own teams who are expected to know the Code. Dawn’s ethics-based approach to our work is guided by the principles of the Jones Family and an unwavering commitment to respectful relationships, people and integrity. Our team members and leaders follow Dawn’s Global Code of Excellence to ensure that we are working together in a way that reflects our values, our vision and our ethics.
To help support our Code of Excellence, Dawn offers team members many avenues for communication and support. The first line of dialogue is an open discussion with supervisors or the Human Resources department. Another resource is our anonymous, 24-hour Speak-Up hotline staffed by an independent third party, where team members, partners and suppliers are encouraged to share their concerns, voice their opinions or offer suggestions.
In our 100 years of business, the Dawn family has valued our relationships with our suppliers and the key role they play in our success. We rely on our supplier partners to deliver the quality products that our customers have come to expect from us. In today’s dynamic bakery landscape, we are always seeking passionate, motivated and collaborative supplier partners — and are committed to creating supplier diversity at Dawn locations around the world.
By working with diverse suppliers, we provide opportunities for the growth and development of diverse business enterprises and communities, and are able to supply a broad assortment of products to our customers.
Diverse suppliers go through the same selection process as all Dawn suppliers, and must provide quality merchandise and/or service at a competitive price, deliver on time and add value to our customers. Please contact us if you have any questions about becoming a diverse supplier.
