HersheyESG & Sustainability Jobs

Iconic American chocolate manufacturer known for its wide range of confectionery products, including Hershey's chocolate bars.

The Hershey Company is one of the largest chocolate and confectionery manufacturers in North America, producing well-known brands including Hershey's, Reese's, Kit Kat (in the US), and a growing portfolio of snack products. The company sources cocoa and other agricultural ingredients at scale and sells through retail channels globally.

Why it matters

Hershey's sustainability footprint centers on its agricultural supply chain, particularly cocoa. The company publishes sustainability reports and tracks progress on priorities including responsible cocoa sourcing, human rights in supply chains, environmental impact in manufacturing, and community investment in cocoa-growing regions. Cocoa supply chains carry well-documented risks around deforestation and child labor, making sourcing practices a material ESG issue for the business.

Hershey operates multiple manufacturing facilities and employs a large workforce, giving its environmental commitments - covering energy, water, and packaging - real operational scale. Sustainability roles at Hershey tend to sit at the intersection of supply chain integrity, environmental reporting, and community development.
