Why Hershey?

Over more than a century, our iconic brands have been built on a foundation of community investment and connections between people around the world. Equally competitive and compassionate, we continue to build a legacy as we invest in the people and snacks of the future.




From the beginning, Milton Hershey believed that if you do good, you'll do well. By doing what we do best--from our delicious snacks to spreading goodness in our communities--we bring people together.




The spirit of creating human connections that motivated our founder 125 years ago remains the driving force that inspires our 18,000 employees today.




And while much has changed in America since the days of Milton Hershey, the power of building connections with those around us--from consumers and shareholders, to our partners and employees--remains vital to the future of our children, our communities, and our business.
