Our mission and purpose is “One Panera for a Healthier and Happier World. ” “One Panera” with our entire team united around our mission and vision. “Healthier” because of our commitment to high-quality ingredients and our bold impact agenda. And “Happier” as we bring joy to our guests through elevated eating experiences. This year we translated our mission and purpose into our brand essence, dare to live generously. We want our brand to serve as a badge for those who believe that living generously is an energizing way of life. That meals are meant to be savored for both how they taste and how they make you feel. And that comfort and community go hand-in-hand, extending generosity to our communities and the planet. We translate this simply as generous to self, to others and to the planet. This ethos helps bring to life the positive impact we can make when we act in service of one another, especially during challenging times. With supply chain challenges and labor shortages, inequity in our communities, the ongoing financial and humanitarian impacts of the global pandemic and environmental issues driven by the climate crisis, 2021 was a turbulent year. While no one company can solve these problems alone, we acknowledge and embrace our responsibility to act in service of our associates, guests, communities, shareholders and the planet.
