If you have been to our hometown, Boise, Idaho, you have probably seen our Global Headquarters. Our headquarters tells a story of where we’ve been and where we are going. Here are just a few of the details that make it unique:

- Our HQ is heated by geothermal energy! The entire building uses the earth’s natural heat, which helps reduce our environmental impact.

-Smart lighting and shade systems keep the building nice and cool. Window shades automatically adjust with the sun, and sensors keep lighting at a steady level throughout the day. This setup, combined with LED lights and natural sunlight, lowers energy use by about 35 percent compared to traditional office buildings!

-History is in all the little details. Many wooden tables throughout the building are made from reclaimed boards from our Caldwell potato processing plant. Stone used throughout the interior from the building comes from Idaho, including pieces from Table Rock right here in Boise.

-We even got creative with our recycling! The Boise HQ's cafeteria gets in on sustainability with chairs made from 100 percent recycled Coke bottles.

We proud of these details that celebrate our history while embracing the innovation that drives us forward!

From The Big Spud to The Silent Spud - the Simplot Company legacy continues!

On April 25, the USS Idaho (SSN‑799) was officially commissioned into the U.S. Navy.
Tom Basabe, President of Land & Livestock, and a group of Simplot employees traveled to witness the moment firsthand. For Tom, it was especially meaningful. His father, John Basabe, former Simplot Land & Livestock president, hired by J.R. Simplot himself, served aboard the USS Idaho (BB‑42) during World War II.

John enlisted just weeks after Pearl Harbor at only 17 years old, forging his mother’s signature to join, and went on to fight in six major battles - earning a battle star for each.
Supporting the military is part of Simplot’s history. This milestone was made possible in part by the Simplot Company Foundation and other Idaho businesses and nonprofits that helped raise more than $1 million through the USS Idaho Commissioning Foundation.

Like Simplot, the USS Idaho carries a legacy rooted in innovation, pride of place and a commitment to something bigger than any one generation. The Simplot Company and the State of Idaho stand proudly behind the USS Idaho as it begins its service, it does so backed by a state that stands behind it, proud of what has been built and confident in what lies ahead.
