Creating Better Days for 4 Billion People by the End of 2030
We believe that a key to running a good business is doing good for society. Kellanova Better Days™ Promise is our commitment to advancing sustainable and equitable access to food by actively addressing the intersection of wellbeing, hunger, sustainability and equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I). In doing so, we are committed to creating better days for 4 billion people by the end of 2030.
Sustainability, hunger, wellbeing and equity, diversity and inclusion are all interconnected. Our changing climate is impacting the health of people and reducing crop yields, leading to greater food insecurity. Many diverse and underserved communities are disproportionally impacted by climate change and now face higher barriers to health and access to nutritious foods. And these same communities are most at risk for undernutrition, hidden hunger and obesity.
For these reasons, our Kellanova Better Days™ Promise aims to:
- Kellanova has committed to setting near- and long-term company-wide emission reductions in line with science-based net-zero standards with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
- Achieve 100% renewable electricity in global Kellanova-owned manufacturing facilities by the end of 2030.
- Reduce water use in global Kellanova-owned manufacturing facilities in high water stress regions by 30% by the end of 2030 (from a 2015 baseline).
- Reduce food waste across our global Kellanova-owned manufacturing facilities by 50% by the end of 2030 (from a 2016 baseline).
- Advance the wellbeing of 250,000 people in our food value chain, from farming communities to processors, prioritizing support for vulnerable groups by the end of 2030 (from a 2023 baseline).
- Responsibly source 12 priority ingredients by 2030.
- Work towards 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging (by volume) by the end of 2030.
Kellanova will report on our progress toward these commitments in our initial Social and Environmental Report that we will issue in 2025.
