HERSHEY ANNOUNCES A.I.-ENABLED DECISION-MAKING

The Hershey Company is embracing AI as part of its strategy to lead what it calls the “next generation of snacking.”  During its 2026 Investor Day event at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, Hershey said it plans to incorporate artificial intelligence in every stage of operations, including AI-enabled decision making to create a “faster, smarter, and more resilient supply chain.”  Hershey said “digital operation planning and decision intelligence” across the whole supply chain will “reduce waste, optimize inventory, and increase service levels.”
