Long-term success for our employees, our customers, our community, and our livelihood depends on sustainable practices.

What does sustainability mean to us at Nicholas Meat?

Environmental Sustainability

Environmental sustainability means caring for our environment. That’s what makes this all possible. Our air, water and natural resources have been entrusted to us as a people and a company. It’s our responsibility to be stewards of these resources and ensure they are preserved for generations to come.

Ethical Practices

We’re small-town people. We believe in doing what we say, saying what we do, and doing the right thing. Ethical practices and honest dealings are the foundation of society. Therefore, we will always strive to be honest and trustworthy, and earn the trust and respect of our employees, customers, and the overall community.

Economic Viability

Economy is called the engine of a society. There’s a reason for that. It drives us. It powers us. Economic viability enables us to provide goods and services to others and make improvements to our business and our community. This also means improving the local economy, for example, offering stable and rewarding employment.

All three of these elements are essential in order to be sustainable.
