Diversity & Inclusion Statement

“At Hy-Vee, our people are our strength. We promise “a helpful smile in every aisle” and those smiles can only come from a workforce that is fully engaged and committed to supporting our customers and each other. We are committed to be a company where all employee owners bring their unique perspectives and experiences together to create a truly outstanding experience. With the help of every employee owner, we are building a company where everyone, employees and customers alike, is treated with respect and dignity, where our differences are embraced and celebrated.”

Responsible Choice Seafood

Hy-Vee’s commitment to protect ocean resources is an integral part of our sustainability mission to do business in a manner that promotes the well-being of our customers, employees, communities, and the global environment.

Hy-Vee became the first Midwest retailer to source 100% of our fresh and frozen seafood from environmentally responsible sources in 2017. Responsible Choice seafood comes from sources, whether farmed or fished, that can maintain or increase production in the long term without jeopardizing the affected ecosystems.

Hy-Vee is proud to be the only retailer who has agreed to publish a list of our tuna supplier vessels, so everyone can view the vessels we use for our private label tuna and help us make sure they’re following sustainable, ethical practices. See the full report here.

Grimes Store

Our new Grimes store was built with sustainability in mind. We’ve gone above and beyond building codes to improve insulation, glazing and roofing, all of which will help reduce energy consumption. The Grimes location will also harness the power of the sun through solar panels on the Fast & Fresh. The main store features skylights that allow natural light to illuminate the aisles and daylight sensing dimmers to reduce energy consumption from our LED light fixtures. The Grimes store will also have several electric vehicle charging stations.
