Sustainability

What Sustainability Means to Us

As a food company committed to feeding larger needs, we know that sustenance doesn’t stop at the plate. Our planet, our people, and our communities feed us in a variety of ways.

That's why we're working to reduce agriculture's impact on the planet, while allowing our food system to grow.

Net Zero 2040

Agriculture can be part of the climate solution.

We have committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The commitment spans our global operations as well as our diverse supply chain of agricultural producer partners, suppliers and customers in our efforts to reduce emissions across the value chain.

As we continue to innovate, we are building on our past success with our 2030 goals as we look to the future. We have set new global targets across environmental, social and governance areas to drive our business forward while sustainably feeding a growing international population.

Food safety is the heart of our business. We continually review every aspect of our daily operations to make sure we provide safe, high-quality, nutritious products for our customers and consumers.
