Making A Wrigley The Wrigley Way

THE WRIGLEY WAY

More than a century ago, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company was founded by an entrepreneur who understood the importance of respecting others. He knew that the long-term success of the company would hinge on having positive, mutually beneficial relationships with Wrigley associates, customers, and the communities in which we did business. This simple philosophy serves as the foundation of our Wrigley Values and our "Wrigley Way" of doing business.

More than four generations of Wrigley associates have embodied this standard and continue to preserve our heritage. Whether you visit Chicago, Munich, Moscow or Hong Kong, our shared values are demonstrated in the way we create a positive working environment based upon the principles of treating all people with trust, dignity and respect. You will also see examples of Wrigley’s efforts to support the global communities where we live and work, invest in innovative manufacturing programs that both protect the environment and conserve resources, and create programs that nurture and provide development opportunities for our Wrigley team.

Since our founding in 1891, the Wrigley Company has grown and evolved significantly. We work in a fast-paced and dynamic marketplace that requires a sense of urgency, measured risk taking, outstanding performance and a healthy respect for competition. This is the hallmark of a vibrant organization. Still, we believe the Wrigley Values are paramount to our success and just as meaningful, if not more, than they were in the beginning. The "soul" of the Company is protected by more than 14,000 Wrigley associates committed to conducting themselves with the highest standards of leadership, honesty and integrity in a complex and rapidly changing business world.

This is a source of great pride and, we believe, a significant competitive advantage. Through this report, we are pleased to share with you a few examples of our "Wrigley Way" in action.

Respectfully,
The Wrigley Executive Leadership Team
