Three principles guiding our actions

We believe that strong values result in strong thinking which result in strong actions. That’s why we defined three clear principles to help us scale our company to a major player in the agriculture space.

We grow the future.

At Kalera, we grow things! This includes plants, people, careers, innovation, technology, sales, profits, and relationships to name a few. We ask and expect that you be personally responsible in helping grow the future of Kalera!

Do the right thing, always.

When we interact with our employees, our customers, our partners, vendors and suppliers, our shareholders and investors, and the world/communities we serve, we do the right thing, always! This means we will act with integrity. We will treat others how we would like to be treated. We will make decisions that are in support of our mission.

Own it, all of it.

Ownership of all we do is critical to your success and the success of the company! Going above and beyond, completing the task at hand, helping others even though it might not be clearly your responsibility, and taking full responsibility of a situation are all examples of own it, all of it!

Giving back

At Kalera, we believe that our greens can change the world. We start with this change in our communities by getting involved and giving back.

We are proud to partner with these great organizations working together to end poverty, fight hunger and bring hope to those in need.
