As a company focused on living out our Mission and Values, Tractor Supply is committed to “work hard, have fun and make money by providing legendary service and great products at everyday low prices.” This mission statement is supported by 10 values – ethics, respect, balance, winning attitude, communication, development, teamwork, change, initiative, and accountability – that drive every business decision we make and the way we interact with our customers and Team Members. Elements of the Mission and Values can be traced back to Tractor Supply’s founding in 1938, but the formal creation and evolution of the Mission and Values can be credited to former CEOs Tom Hennesy and Joe Scarlett. Today, we say the Mission and Values are the “secret sauce” to our success as they empower our Team Members and drive Tractor Supply’s future.
