Culture at
Whole Foods Market

Quality standards don’t just apply to our products. We hold our buildings to the highest standards possible as well. Reuse, reduce and recycle is our way of life even when it comes to building our stores. We harness alternative energy to offset electricity use, recycle rainwater through on-site purification systems, and employ systems that turn food scraps into energy. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Some of our stores even feature rooftop greenhouses that grow produce that we sell in the store below.

Nourish your community beyond the checkout line with Whole Foods Market's Growing Communities program. From funding local food banks to supporting sustainable farms, your work fuels positive change while empowering individuals and strengthening neighborhoods. Join the movement to build healthier, happier communities, one bite at a time.

Whole Foods Market Foundation is on a mission to nourish people by advancing food security, improving nutrition, and strengthening resilient food systems.​ With the support of Whole Foods Market Team Members, the Foundation achieves this work through its three focus areas: Broadening Healthy Food Access, Improving Children's Nutrition, and Expanding Financial Inclusion.
