Our Mission
Chobani is a good maker with a mission of making high-quality and nutritious food acessible to more people, while elevating our communities and making the world a healther place. | Making Good Food for All |
 | Once upon a time there was a shepherd In 2005, Hamdi took a loan from the Small Business Administration, bought an old yogurt plant, and brought a small group of passionate individuals together to make the real, wholesome yogurt that he remembered from his childhood. Perfecting our craft For the next two years, Hamdi devoted himself to the craft, carefully building his team to ensure quality from the ground up. In 2007, his dream to make delicious, nutritious, natural, and accessible yogurt finally came to fruition, when the very first cup of Chobani® Greek Yogurt hit the shelf. |
 | A series of milestones By 2010, Chobani had grown from one man’s dream into America’s favorite Greek Yogurt.
Beyond yogurt In 2019, Chobani started unveiling a series of innovations in four new categories beyond yogurt: oatmilk, dairy and plant-based coffee creamers, ready-to-drink cold brew coffee and plant-based probiotic drinks.

After moving to New York from his native Turkey, Hamdi found that in America, yogurt just wasn’t as delicious or widely available as it was back home. He believed everyone deserved better options, so he set about making delicious, nutritious, natural, and accessible Greek Yogurt right here in the U.S. Since he sold his first cup of yogurt, Chobani’s product portfolio, its mission, and its workforce has grown and evolved into the powerful force for good that he always hoped it would be. |  |
 Giving backIn 2020 and 2021, Chobani took its advocacy fight against hunger to the next level. We convened our first-ever national Child Hunger Summit, calling for public-private partnerships to end child hunger while donating and delivering millions of products to food banks and anti-hunger organizations coast-to-coast.

 InnovationChobani believes in innovation that results in nutritious food, accessible to everyone, while supporting and caring for our people and communities near and far. We've now grown beyond yogurt, evolving with the changing behaviors of consumers to expand in dairy and plant-based foods, always delicious, always nutritious and always accessible.

PeopleOur employees represent the communities where we live. They champion our culture of respect, diversity, equity, and inclusion. From industry- leading parental leave to a minimum hourly wage of at least $15 an hour (with an average hourly wage of $19 an hour), caring for our people remains our most important priority, and together, we stand up for humanity, every day.

"We’re passionately committed to celebrating the people of Chobani and not just their contributions to the business. Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace ensures that each person feels empowered to bring their whole self to work. It’s simple—people come first! Thanks to D&I, Chobani employees experience a variety of cultures through film, music, dance, art, activism and, of course, food. But we know there's always more we can do to give more people opportunities and access, which is why we’re doubling down on our goals and growing this program."
- Mike Avery, Director of Diversity & Inclusion
ACTIONS TOWARD CHANGE
Transforming D&I Councils into Task Forces
Our existing D&I Councils will become a Task Force at every Chobani location. They will lead internal engagement, education, and awareness around diversity and inclusion, informing tangible actions we are taking as a company to further equity through hiring, business operations, and advocacy.
Accountability
We are holding not only our executive leadership team accountable, but also their direct reports, and their direct reports. D&I goals and objectives will be tied to the annual performance evaluations of all managers so that the spirit of D&I at Chobani permeates our entire company.
Funding
We are making meaningful monetary investments in our D&I Recruiting Committee and expanding our diversity in hiring practices to bring more minority and female candidates to managerial roles at the company.
Disseminating Demographic Data
Leadership will receive demographic data of their departments in an effort to set goals and move toward creating a workforce that reflects our core values and the communities we call home. This will, in turn, give leadership a better grasp of the demographic composition of their teams and show us where greater representation is possible.
Inaugural Internship
We are establishing our first-ever, fully paid, company-wide internship program, dedicated to underrepresented groups, specifically young adults of color with a focus on Black youth.
Career Development
As part of our ongoing work to help our employees grow in their careers, we're creating career development programs that help more underrepresented employees from our plants grow into managerial and leadership roles.
Awareness and Education
We are expanding our company-wide Respect in the Workplace training to include awareness and education on anti-racism and unconscious bias, with the help of external experts.
Supply Chain for Change
We’re expanding our Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure our suppliers, advisors, and other outside partners prioritize diversity as we do and are representative of the communities we serve and employ.
Employee Donation Match Program
From May 25, 2020, through the end of June, our employee match program doubles monetary donations from our Chobani Family. To date, together, we have made donations to the Equal Justice Initiative, the King Center, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. We’ve also separately donated to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute and Building Beats.
Building on a Foundation of Diversity and Inclusion
Since day one, we’ve promoted diversity and inclusivity within our workforce because we know that our communities are stronger when people are given opportunities and access. Our vision is to have an employee base representative of the communities we live in and a culture of respect and recognition for our diverse employees at Chobani—fostering a spirit of inclusivity for all.
Our Work Continues
While the path to a fairer, more just world is long and winding, we are committed to it. The journey is ours; step by step. Standing with one another to help carry the burdens, past and present. We are widening the path to doing what is right, always with humanity at the center.
OUR WORK SO FAR
Building on a Foundation of Diversity and Inclusion
Since day one, we’ve promoted diversity and inclusivity within our workforce because we know that our communities are stronger when people are given opportunities and access. Our vision is to have an employee base representative of the communities we live in and a culture of respect and recognition for our diverse employees at Chobani—fostering a spirit of inclusivity for all.
Equitable Pay
At the end of 2019, we conducted a pay equity analysis to ensure that our employees in similar job levels are being paid fairly based on justifiable compensation factors—such as tenure and performance—and not on discriminatory factors, like gender and race. Across all levels, we have concluded employee gender and race do not affect pay. And we’re continuing to conduct pay equity analyses annually and commit to protecting this moving forward.
Hiring Refugees and Immigrants
We welcome people from around the world, working with local refugee centers to support those who have come to the U.S. in search of safety and the opportunity of a better life. Chobani employees come from every conceivable background—at our plant in Upstate, New York, for instance, our employees include people from Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Nepal, resettled as refugees following often violent and difficult experiences in their home countries.
Chobani Gives
Giving back to communities and people in need is one of our founding values. Through Chobani Gives, all Chobani employees are able to spend a full day of paid volunteer time with an organization of their choice every year, and we encourage them to support Black and minority advancement organizations with their time.
Chobani Incubator
As a food company, we believe in doing our part to move the needle towards equity in the food and beverage industry. We’ve actively broadened our Incubator recruitment strategy to reach more female and minority business owners. What resulted was our most unique and dynamic cohort yet—75% of the Spring 2019 cohort were underrepresented minority founders and 63% were female founders or co-founders, representing a vast array of countries-of-origin, self-identified LGBTQ status, levels of education, and geographies. In Fall 2019, we also launched a dedicated incubator “boot camp” program for early-stage veteran-founded start-ups in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families.
Best Workplaces for LGBTQ Equality
For two years in a row, Chobani has received a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Corporate Equality Index, and joined the list of companies being recognized for providing top-tier inclusive policies and benefits for LGBTQ employees, designating us as “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”
Paid Parental Leave
Since the very beginning, family has been integral to Chobani. We want our employees to be able to bond with the newest additions to their families and return to their jobs feeling confident and ready. Our paid parental leave policy provides our full-time employees with six weeks of 100% paid leave to bond with a new child following a birth, adoption, or foster care placement. We also offer an In Vitro Fertilization benefit covering up to three rounds per lifetime, in addition to coverage for fertility preservation.
Transparency in Medical Plan Coverages
As a wellness company, we prioritize the health of our people. We are more than comfortable to comply with the Transparency in Coverage Rule that requires health insurers and group health plans to post publicly available machine-readable files that include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services. Our health plan administrator, Collective Health, creates and publishes these files on behalf of RCG Global Services. These are available for you to read here.
