Give Back

From the start, Utz has been dedicated to giving back and enriching the communities where we work and live. We actively contribute through product donations, financial support, employee volunteerism, and in-kind assistance, all aimed at building stronger, more resilient communities. In 2023, Utz proudly surpassed $500,000 in combined monetary and food product donations to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.

Buy Responsibly

Agriculture is one of the world’s largest industries with a significant impact on water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and biodiversity. At Utz, we recognize our responsibility to go beyond our own operations by building a resilient supply base, promoting sustainable farming practices, and expanding the regions from which we source our raw materials. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that the products we use are produced to the highest standards.
