Message from our Sr. VP, Chief Global Corporate Affairs Officer

Making a difference for 4 billion people

After steadily declining for a decade, world hunger is again on the rise, affecting nearly 10% of people globally. From 2019 to 2022, the number of undernourished people grew by as many as 150 million, driven largely by conflict, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic[1].

As a global food company, Kellanova is committed to doing our part to advance sustainable and equitable access to food for all. This is the foundational premise of Kellanova Better Days™ social and environmental purpose strategy to create better days for 4 billion people by the end of 2030 by addressing the intersection of wellbeing, hunger, sustainability, and equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I).

As Kellogg Company, we’ve already created better days for 1.8 billion people since 2015. As Kellanova, we’re further amplifying this passion, promising to create better days for 4 billion people by the end of 2030. We’ll do so by committing the following:

  • Nourishing 1.5 billion people with our foods by the end of 2030.
  • Feeding 400 million people facing food insecurity by the end of 2030.
  • Nurturing people and planet, including advancing the wellbeing of 250,000 people in our food value chain, from farming communities to processors.
  • Valuing equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) in our own workforce. This includes our aspirational goals of gender 50/50 parity at the management level by the end of 2025 and 30% people of color in the U.S. at the management level by the end of 2025.
  • Engaging 2 billion people in advocating for sustainable and equitable access to food by the end of 2030.

Kellanova is committed to setting company-wide emission reductions in line with science-based net-zero standards with the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi). The Science Based Targets initiative is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions targets in line with the latest climate science.

We’ll report on our initial Kellanova progress toward these goals in 2025. In the meantime, I invite you to learn more about our initiatives. 

Thank you for your support and collaboration as we strive to create better days around the world.
