STANDS for GOOD

At General Mills we put the people we serve and the planet we depend on at the heart of our business. We are working from the ground up, with partners across the value chain, to solve today’s food and agricultural challenges to build a resilient future.

CLIMATE

Our commitment is to reduce greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions across our full value chain by 30% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

• Since 2020, we have reduced GhG emissions from owned operations by 49 percent.
• To advance decarbonization strategies we have built new ways of working and new teams.

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Our goal is to advance regenerative agriculture on 1 million acres of farmland by 2030.

• With 500,000 acres engaged, we are halfway to reaching our goal.
• These efforts help improve soil health, watersheds, biodiversity, climate change, and farmer economic resilience.

PACKAGING

Our ambition is that all General Mills brands will design 100% of packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2030.

• Ninety-two percent of packaging for our North America Retail and North America Foodservice operating segments was recyclable or reusable (by weight) as of fiscal 2022.
• We consistently seek opportunities to improve the recyclability and reusability of our packaging and reduce or eliminate materials.
