Signpost - Elevation Burger

Can burgers and fries reflect the Kingdom of God? Can the supply chain, products and services of a burger chain reflect both marketplace and Kingdom values—satisfying customers, empowering employees, and stewarding God’s creation?

These questions are what Hans Hess, Chairman and Founder of Elevation Burger, not only set out answer in 2005 but is seeking to do every day since—alongside 1150 employees across 57 locations.

The food industry, particularly in recent years, has become a focus of attention for its impact on the environment, carbon footprint, genetic modification, animal welfare, among other concerns around human health & wellbeing.

“If I can apply my God given talents to reduce the negative impact I have on my environment, why wouldn’t I? That’s something God gave me, and something He expects of me.”

Whatever sector of the marketplace you are in, how might the values and vision that Hans is seeking to shape Elevation Burger transfer to the work God has called you to?
