Renewable Electricity

For some time, Kellogg has been working to reduce its impact on the climate. Our company was one of the first to set science-based targets to help do so across our value chain. Since then, we’ve joined RE100 and are supporting them in their mission to accelerate change through renewable electricity.

Generating renewable electricity creates far lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than burning fossil fuels.¹ According to the United Nations, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable electricity is critical to tackling climate change.¹

As a global food company, we can play a role in helping to reduce reliance on limited energy sources in our value chain and creating a positive impact for people and planet.

Our Commitment

As part of our Kellanova Better Days™ Promise goal to create better days for 4 billion people by the end of 2030, we aim to achieve 100% renewable electricity in all global Kellanova-owned manufacturing facilities by the end of 2030.

Carrying the progress of Kellogg Company into a new era, Kellanova accelerated the 2050 deadline, initially set by Kellogg Company, in order to help achieve our ambitious greenhouse gas emission goals.

Our Approach

By harnessing power from renewable sources like sun, wind and water, we are reducing our reliance on limited energy sources like coal, oil and gas. Kellanova uses a range of different options to progress towards utilizing renewable electricity in our globally owned manufacturing facilities.

• Solar Energy - Facilities in India, South Africa, Thailand and Malaysia use solar panels to help power their electricity needs (13%, 10%, 12% and 7% respectively).
• Wind Energy - As Kellogg Company, we signed a long-term wind energy virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) in North America with Enel Green Power in 2021. Kellanova will use this energy to help power the electricity used across our manufacturing facilities.
• Hydropower – Hydroelectric sources provide 100% of our electricity in Colombia.

Our Journey

Kellanova is a new company with a foundation that’s more than a century long. We are committed to carrying forth the legacy of Kellogg Company, who led with purpose to create a positive impact for people and planet. Like our name signals, we’re building on that legacy of doing good, built over the previous 117 years, while looking ambitiously toward the future. 

Progress reported below is for Kellogg Company through the end of 2022. Kellanova will report on progress toward our commitments in our initial Social and Environmental Report that we will issue in 2025.
