LOS ANGELES, CA - The Wonderful Company has long been demonstrating its values through extensive investments in education, health and wellness, infrastructure, and more. Honoring these actions, PEOPLE® Magazine ranked The Wonderful Company No. 3 nationwide on its coveted 2024 PEOPLE® Companies That Care list.

“For over 50 years, our company philosophy has been rooted in the commitment to leave behind a better, healthier world,” said Lynda and Stewart Resnick, Co-Founders. “That promise is embodied in our employees, who make a difference every day, and we are so proud PEOPLE has recognized and honored their work and commitment. We hope the initiatives we’ve launched, the investments we’ve made, and the efforts we try to make every day serve as a model for others. Giving back starts in your own backyard.”

As a $6 billion global company made up of iconic brands Wonderful and its subsequent foundations have directed more than $2.5 billion to philanthropy and corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts globally, mentioned a press release.

Additionally, nearly $600 million has been funneled directly into California’s Central Valley, home to more than 3,000 employees.

“Each year, we look forward to highlighting the innovative ways these companies give back to their employees, communities, and the world,” says Wendy Naugle, Editor-In-Chief, PEOPLE. “Celebrating the care and kindness they show is a natural extension of our editorial mission—to show what’s possible when ordinary people commit to extraordinary endeavors.”

The Wonderful Company was named one of Fortune® Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For earlier this year, and was also recognized among the Best Places To Work in the Central Valley for its commitment to the well-being of its workforce.

To be considered for the PEOPLE and Fortune lists, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.
