During its long history, the torchère has traveled from New York to Chicago and back to New York. Then it was moved to Philadel- phia, and finally to the town of Hershey in 1909 when it was installed in the foyer of High Point mansion, the home of Milton and Catherine Hershey. In his later years, Mr. Hershey desired a safe place for the massive but delicate torchère to be displayed.

  • The Hershey Company and the Cocoa Controversy
    Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu The Hershey Company and The Cocoa Controversy INTRODUCTION Chocolate is enjoyed by millions, mainly in decadent desserts, candies, and drinks. It contains fiber, iron, magnesium, copper manganese, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium, which are nutritional antioxidants. Dark chocolate, with at least 70% cocoa, is considered protective against heart disease because it can reduce blood pressure, improve blood flow, raise HDL cholesterol (known as the good cholesterol), and lower total LDL cholesterol, or less desirable cholesterol. In one study, it was shown to reduce calcified arterial plaque by 32%. Other studies indicate that long term consumption of dark chocolate may protect skin from sun damage and reduce the risk of cancer, help with cognitive function in elderly people, and improve brain blood flow, oxygen levels and nerve function. As science learns more about the health benefits of dark chocolate, its demand continues to grow. Developing countries are discovering that chocolate beans improve their sweet treats and candies, thus creating even greater worldwide demand. Cocoa beans grow mostly in tropical climates, mainly in Western Africa, Asia and Latin America, the largest exporters being Ghana and the Ivory Coast. With over $7.5 billion dollars in sales every year, the Hershey Company is one of the world’s largest producers of chocolate and candy products. Hershey’s products are sold in more than 70 countries and include Hershey’s Kisses and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars as well as brands such as Reese’s, Whoppers, Almond Joy, and Twizzlers. Although Hershey strives to be a model company and has several philanthropic, social, and environmental programs, the company has struggled with ethical issues related to the labor issues associated with West African cocoa communities, including child labor.

  • Legacy of Milton S. Hershey General Purpose: to Inform Specific Purpose: to Inform My Audience About the Life & Legacy of Milton S
    Christine Bonnichsen TTh 11:00-12:20PM 10 Apr 2008 Topic: Legacy of Milton S. Hershey General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the life & legacy of Milton S. Hershey. ______________________________________________________________________________ Legacy of Milton S. Hershey Introduction I. Attention Getter Have any of you wondered if Willy Wonka was a real person? Well he was, but his name was Milton S. Hershey. He lived from 1857 to 1945. Mr. Hershey had extraordinary wealth, a chocolate empire, and utopian dreams. It all started with Milton S. Hershey’s failures. Long before going into chocolate, Mr. Hershey went bankrupt 3 times attempting to create a successful caramel business. Finally, he succeeded with his 4th attempt, the Lancaster Caramel Co. in 1893. It was his success in caramel that allowed him to transition to chocolate by selling his Lancaster Caramel Co. for $1 million in 1900. He used the profit from the sale to produce his milk chocolate recipe and became the first American to manufacture milk chocolate. Using this formula, he created the largest chocolate factory in the world and the utopian company town to support it. II. Audience Relevancy Statement Today, over a hundred years later, millions of people eat Hershey’s products around the world and I’m sure you or someone you know are one of them. III. Thesis Statement/Central Idea Milton S Hershey left an extraordinary legacy that still lives on today. Preview Statement: I will explain Hershey’s legacy that included a candy factory, a model town, and a philanthropic school for underprivileged children.

  • 2014 Corporate Social Responsibility Report to Our Stakeholders
    2014 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS As Hershey continues to evolve and become a more global and diversified company, one question is always on our minds: How do we accelerate growth and preserve what has made this company special for the past 100 years? The answer always begins with reinvesting in our people and purpose. Together, they form the exceptional culture that fuels our growth— a culture that is committed to performance and collaboration with one another and with the world at large, for greater success and the greater good. Today, as we engage a world in which consumer expectations, economic trends and the competitive landscape demand more of us than ever before, our employees—united by their passion for results and their commitment to community—are again responding as a unified, determined team. I couldn’t be prouder. Macroeconomic trends are challenging our consumers and our top line. We are responding with product innovations and strategies to break into new distribution channels. Some of these we rolled out in 2014; many more will arrive in the coming years. The global marketplace, the stage on which we must achieve our future growth, is increasingly competitive. In 2014, with the purchase of the Shanghai Golden Monkey candy company, we completed Hershey’s most complex international acquisition to date, and in the process, our footprint in China grew exponentially. Simultaneously, we are retooling our strategies in other key international markets. Consumers are asking for more transparency and nutritional choice than ever before. In response, we are working diligently, broadening our portfolio in order to compete in new categories, and sharing the information about our ingredients and sourcing that consumers expect.
