PROVIDENCE, R.I., March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- United Natural Foods, Inc. (NYSE: UNFI) ("UNFI" or the "Company"), North America's premier food wholesaler delivering the widest variety of products to a diverse and expansive customer base across the country, today announced that it has established safety protocols, added additional flexibility and provided incentives for the front line distribution center associates providing America with essential services during the COVID-19 national state of emergency.
"As Americans continue to look to us to help keep stores across the country well-stocked during this national emergency, we are fully committed to supporting our valued associates and working to meet their needs," said Steven L. Spinner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 21,000 associates are at the very heart of the food distribution sector's around-the-clock effort to keep America fed and prepared amidst the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. We hope our new protocols will provide an important degree of assurance and comfort to our world-class workforce, especially as cases inevitably increase in the weeks ahead and deliveries become more difficult amidst widespread business closures."
UNFI distribution center teams, from our selectors and sales support to our forklift operators and truck drivers, as well as all support staff within a DC are essential workers in helping ensure UNFI continues to fulfill its role as a critical link in the North American food supply chain.
In recognition of our associates' dedication and efforts during this time of national emergency, UNFI is putting in place several new protocols designed to provide assurance and safety to our workforce, including:
"Our associates have done a tremendous job keeping UNFI's supply chain secure and stable as customer demand has surged to unprecedented levels," added Paul Green, Chief Supply Chain Officer. "They continue to go the extra mile and put the needs of our customers first despite long hours and large workloads. This is why we, in turn, will continue to do whatever is in our power to prioritize their health and wellbeing at all times."
Jill Sutton, Chief Legal Officer, added, "We have robust business planning and continuity programs in place that our teams are executing on with tremendous focus, effective protocols and care for our workforce. We believe these efforts will continue to allow us to keep our associates and our communities safe. We will not be deterred from carrying out our essential mission of providing the high-quality food products that our customers have come to expect of us during this critical time."
