Core values
Do you love going to work every morning?
We do.
Here at The King Arthur Flour Company in Norwich, Vermont, we enjoy our jobs. As America’s premier baking resource, we sell flour and baking products to bread bakers and cookie lovers all over the country. We feel good taking care of our customers, our community, and the beautiful environment around us–all part of our mission.
It boils down to this: we love what we do. How we do it. And who we do it with. Every day. And oh, by the way–we own the company. All of us.
Our guiding principles
Our purpose and our values are the core principles of King Arthur Flour. We recruit those who are excited by the same things we are: building vibrant communities, at the local, national, and global levels, through the creative, sharing art of baking.
At King Arthur Flour, as in all truly great companies, purpose and values aren’t simply written down and stashed away. Rather, they give us an enduring sense of direction, so that quick, constant change becomes comfortable and welcome.
Values
Our values serve as King Arthur’s fundamental and continuing creed; they’re never compromised for short-term gain. These are our guiding core values:
- Passion
- We love what we do; we connect through the age-old, cultural tradition of baking.
- Employee-ownership
- As employee-owners, we create a workplace that embraces respect, trust, open communication, and personal fulfillment through honest hard work.
- Quality
- From us, the employee-owners, to our relationships with others, to our flour and all our products, we seek the highest standards in everything we are, and in everything we do.
- Community
- We strive to serve, educate, and inspire those in the world around us.
- Stewardship
- We carry on our centuries-old heritage of stewardship through the quality of our brand, and the steps we take to preserve the vitality of our community and the earth on which we live.
