“Our core values and our leadership principles are why I stay at Whole Foods Market. Everything the company stands for aligns with who I am as a person, and who I became as a leader.”

“I want to leave an imprint on the world. So, long after I am gone, I want the effects of my presence to still be here, and I feel like I can do that through Whole Foods.”

“The connection with everyone here is so strong and so powerful. I'm able to see that while we all come from different backgrounds and different cultures and different regions, we all have one single purpose, and that is to Nourish People and the Planet, and that feels really good.”

Rooted in the Community

As a Whole Foods Market Team Member, you have limitless opportunities to give back to the community. From participating in stores' Community Giving Program all the way to flying across the world to help people in need, we empower you to make a meaningful impact.

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.
