Whole Planet Foundation

Our motto—Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet — emphasizes that our vision reaches beyond food retailing. In fact, our deepest purpose as an organization is helping support the health, well-being, and healing of both people — customers, Team Members, and business organizations in general — and the planet.

And our Core Values are not just words on a wall somewhere: they’re guiding principles that inform every decision we make—from the daily, face-to-face interactions with our customers to larger decisions that impact the way Whole Foods Market evolves and grows.

We encourage our Team Members to connect with our Core Values on a personal level, choosing the one(s) that are most meaningful to them and making them “come to life” in their work. It is empowerment in its truest sense, and we think it’s what can make working at Whole Foods Market such a unique and rewarding experience.
