Hershey Advances Agility with Costly Efficiency Plan

The Hershey Company (HSY) has released an update to notify the public and investors about termination and asset disposition expenses.

The Board of Directors of a company has greenlighted an ambitious productivity plan, “Advancing Agility & Automation,” aimed at refining the supply chain, reducing administrative costs, and embracing technology for better efficiency. The initiative, running until 2026, is projected to cost $200-$250 million, with the bulk going to restructuring and tech upgrades. It’s a tough pill to swallow with expected workforce cuts, but the payoff is a hefty $300 million in annual savings post-completion.
