Although they have expanded their production facilities and increased the number of employees, they have remained a private company.

They enjoy the fact that they are a family-owned business^[1], sensitive to the needs of their customers.

They don't have to worry about pleasing shareholders^[2].

Bonuses^[5] and salary increases^[6] keep employees happy and motivated to^[7] work hard.

As a result, employee turnover^[8] is low and the company has been recognized as one of the best companies to work for.

In addition, Emma's Best supports local charities^[9], especially those that provide healthy food to children from low-income families.

Given its success, the company feels an obligation^[10] to contribute to society.

In spite of the fact that other companies now produce similar products, Emma's Best remains the market leader.

Their total commitment^[11] to quality has made the difference and they are proud of their accomplishments^[12].
