Conservation:

• Protecting our environment means everything to our company, because our success is only sustainable if Avery Island is as well. As we like to say: the land has been good to us, so we are good to it.
• Our commitment to conservation is as old as our company. In the late 1800s, company President E.A. McIlhenny founded a private bird sanctuary on Avery Island to protect the snowy egret population that returns to the island each year to nest. By 1920, his “Bird City” had expanded to a 170-acre wildlife refuge called Jungle Gardens. Today, Jungle Gardens is home to thousands of egrets and other bird species, as well as local wildlife such as alligators, deer, armadillo, and raccoons that live in the surrounding marshlands.
• We still actively engage in efforts to protect the biodiversity of Jungle Gardens and the marshes that surround our Island. We are one of the founding members of the Rainey Conservation Alliance (RAC) along with the National Audubon Society, Vermillion Corporation and local landowners in the surrounding area.  RAC came together to focus on marsh conservation in the areas which includes the Paul Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary, a 26,000-acre refuge in Vermillion Parish that is home to alligators, deer, muskrat, otter and geese.  The Rainey Refuge is focused on providing safe and healthy habitats for waterfowl and other endemic species.
• Each year we work with local partners and our summer crews to plant new, indigenous grasses to build a more protective marsh for the local and migrating species.
• We make decisions that show our commitment to the environment and sustainability every day in the following ways:
  • We prioritize the regional sourcing of materials, resulting in reduced environmental impact.
  • We manufacture and bottle using glass instead of plastic, whenever possible.
  • Seeds and pepper sauce run-off are used for in other products and seasonings.
  • Organic waste matter from our manufacturing process, such as pepper skins, are used for compost.
  • Discarded barrels are used to build fences and tables enjoyed by our guests and team members all over the island.  They are also made into wood chips sold at our Country Store.
  • We are committed to continuous improvement in all areas of the business to try to reduce our environmental footprint.
  • We have published a Sustainability Report that we share with family members, employees and key customers and are working to set new goals and strategies around water and energy use.

“I fell in love with the company the first time I visited years ago. Avery Island is breathtaking, and seeing how the product is made never gets old.”

Community:

• Every spring and fall we host a company blood drive to help save lives in our community.
• We support local charities through product donations and financial support.
• Our RED Cares program includes community service and volunteer opportunities for our employees. For example, during the COVID 19 pandemic, we partnered with restaurants to deliver our products to hospitals, frontline workers and first responders.
• Also during COVID-19, we partnered with the New Orleans Saints and the Greater New Orleans Community Foundation to establish a fund to assist the Hospitality and Restaurant Industry workforce during the shut-downs in the New Orleans area.

“We believe that sustainability is part of everyone’s job, not just mine.”

—CEO Harold “Took” Osborn—

To show our commitment to our family of employees, some employee benefits extend to their family members as well:

• Housing on Avery Island: Based on availability, McIlhenny Company employees and their families have the opportunity to live on the island in company-owned housing at below-market rates. This benefits families while also building a stronger community.
• Summer Jobs Program: Each summer, a number of our employees’ children have the opportunity to work on Avery Island in entry-level positions. This helps them gain real-world work experience while helping us drive our business forward.
