Values of the Company
Imam Ahmed Kobeisy, Larry Rosenbaum, Rabbi Nachman Simon
Saratoga Cheese will provide products that will serve underserved populations that desire the highest Kosher and Halal standards. We will also demonstrate how people of different faiths can work together in a peaceful and productive manner. This will set an example for the endless potentials of coexistence, cooperation, understanding and respect. We will run our business in ways that will implement these values. Also to help implement them, we will build a visitors' center, an interfaith wellness and religious facility and two other related community facilities.
Many of the key players within Saratoga Cheese are graduates of the State University of New York system. The underlying philosophy of both their education and experience supports an organizational management approach of win/win/win. This philosophy maintains that the total of something can (and should!) be greater than the sum of its parts - that is, all parties involved must benefit.
In summary, Saratoga Cheese Corp. is driven by several clear core values beyond simply making a profit. These values include:
- Treating all of its employees fairly
- Contributing to the local economy and quality of life in their community
- Protecting and improving the environment to the maximum extent possible
- Stabilizing and raising the income of dairy farmers by providing them with a value-added milk market
- Demonstrating the power of working together among different peoples and groups particularly between Jews and Muslims
- Providing a good example to other businesses and communities across the world that the above values are possible and necessary.
