Premier Nutrition: The Good Energy People

It’s hard to believe that it’s time for our annual PNC Friendsgiving Celebration - where did the year go? Once again, we provided the turkey, stuffing, and gravy and asked everyone to bring in their family’s favorite dish. From sausage stuffing muffins to sweet potato souffle, apple butter cookies, and buñuelos it was fun and delicious to get a taste of everyone’s traditions and set aside time to gather and connect. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! #friendsgiving

Happy Halloween from all of us at Premier Nutrition, where we take Halloween seriously. Our “friendly” decoration and costume contest is for bragging rights only, but apparently, those bragging rights are worth a lot! The Marketing Department turned into Mario Kart, the Research and Innovation Team became a Parisian boulevard, Operations Planning transformed into SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom with Jelly Fish and Krabby Patties, the People Team was Harry Potter’s world, and of course, the Accounting Team showed up as bank robbers. And that list doesn’t even include everyone, so apologies for those we left off, although we’d be remiss if we didn’t call out the Australian Breakdancing Trio who shared their fabulous moves. Check out the photos to see it all!

Happy 5th Birthday BellRing Brands! What a perfect way to celebrate by ringing the NYSE Closing Bell with our amazing Leadership Team! We flew 30 of leaders out to NY to celebrate this amazing ride. So proud to lead this incredible company who prioritizes our people, leads with purpose and brings Joy to consumers. Lets continue to CHANGE LIVES WITH GOOD ENERGY! #bellringbrands #premiernutrition #goodenergy Photo Credit: NYSE

We usually ring the bell in our office, but this week we’re ringing the New York Stock Exchange closing bell to celebrate five years since BellRing Brands (Premier Nutrition’s parent company) went public in 2019. It’s been a busy five years. Our net sales grew from $854 million to $1.9 billion in the most recently reported twelve month period. Premier Protein became the #1 ready-to-drink protein and convenient nutrition brand, and Dymatize is now the #1 Hydrolyzed Protein Powder. Through it all, we’ve continued developing our amazing people-first culture focused on empowering our employees to do the best work of their lives, while supporting our mission of Changing Lives with Good Energy. A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who contributed along the way! Photo Credit: NYSE

We’re beyond awestruck to have had Steve Kerr host our latest all-company Builders’ Workshop in front of a packed house. Who better to provide advice on leadership and team building than the coach of both the NBA Championship-winning Golden State Warriors and the 2024 Gold Medal winning U.S. Olympic basketball team? PNC/BRBR CEO Darcy Horn Davenport led the conversation with Coach Kerr at our Emeryville HQ, which was based on questions from PNC team members. The discussion ranged from managing high-performing teams and building a first-class culture to giving and receiving feedback, as well as questions about Coach Kerr’s journey from player to coach. It was amazing to hear Coach Kerr describe how well our values align, especially our shared commitment to paying it forward within our community and the world. A huge ring the bell to Coach Kerr for sharing his time with us. It was inspiring to learn from such an accomplished leader and a morning we’ll never forget. #employeeexperience #companyvalues

We’re excited to share the “scoop” on Premier Protein’s National Ice Cream Day celebration last month. Premier Protein hosted a pop-up protein ice cream shop in New York City, serving over 4,800 scoops of protein-packed ice cream made with our shakes. A big “Ring the Bell” to Premier Protein’s Brand Manager, Hannah Deixler, who led the marketing behind this fun event. We’re excited for an in-office protein ice cream pop-up later this month so our employees can taste these amazing protein-powered ice cream flavors as well. #premierproteinicecream #marketing #companyculture

As a culture-driven, fast-growing company, our Talent Acquisition (TA) team has the big task of ensuring we’re staffed with the right people to support our growth AND nurture our people-first culture. During our last all-company “Protein Boost” meeting we were excited to “Ring the Bell” to celebrate the TA team’s achievement of doubling their previous monthly hiring record. Steve McElhaney, who founded our TA team 6 years ago and now oversees it, gave a big shout-out to Tamara Flaherty-Igbineweka, Diana Solares, Jennifer L., Jenni Grubbs, and Jorge Wynne. Collectively, they focus on the total candidate-to-employee experience, screening candidates, developing and guiding hiring teams, and onboarding new hires through training and events. They also implement best practices to assist hiring managers in making thoughtful and unbiased hiring decisions. Thanks to everyone on our hiring team for all their hard work, as well as to everyone else at PNC who assists in getting new hires up and running. If you’re looking to join a company where you’re empowered to do the best work of your career, check out our hiring page - we’re hiring!

So grateful to have the opportunity to drive PNC's philanthropy program. We're giving our team the reigns to make a difference in our community.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of PNC’s Community Grant Program. Annually, we come together to nominate, learn about, and vote for, which non-profits will receive our company donations. At an All-Company gathering, employees describe the charity they’ve nominated, the impactful work being done, and why it’s personally meaningful to them. We then vote on where to distribute our philanthropic dollars. This year we donated $280,000 across the following organizations. - (BORP) Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program www.borp.org - Courageous Women’s Association www.courageouswomen.org - Planting Justice www.plantingjustice.org - Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org - East Oakland Boxing Association www.eoba.org - Save the Waves www.savethewaves.org - George Mark Children's House www.georgemark.org - East Bay SPCA www.eastbayspca.org Click through the links to learn about the amazing work being done by these organizations that we’re honored to support. #PayItForward #employeeexperience
