ESG Oversight and Management

Kellogg Company’s Board of Directors, including the Social Responsibility and Public Policy Committee oversees our ESG strategy. Our Senior Vice President, Chief Global Corporate Affairs Officer; Senior Vice President of Global Supply Chain; Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer; Senior Vice President of Global R&D and Innovation and other executives who report to the Chairman and CEO, are responsible for successfully implementing the strategy and regularly updating the CEO and Board Committee. Our Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) reports to the Senior Vice President, Chief Global Corporate Affairs Officer. Additionally, numerous leaders are accountable for achieving specific ESG commitments, based on their roles. Many of our senior leaders have annual performance goals tied to the company’s ESG metrics.

In addition, Kellogg has created a Global ESG Council and regional ESG Councils. The Councils ensure execution on priority strategies to maximize ESG performance, share best practices to ensure we are progressing against our commitments.

Unleashing our potential

Kellogg Company plans to separate into two independent companies, a global snacking business to be named Kellanova and a North American cereal business to be named WK Kellogg Co, by the end of 2023. Each of the future companies will report on their respective ESG strategy and progress separately.

Kellanova Better Days™ Promise is our commitment to advancing sustainable and equitable access to food by addressing the intersection of wellbeing, hunger, sustainability, and equity, diversity and inclusion. In doing so, we’ll create better days for 4 billion people by the end of 2030.

We’re committed to:

Nourishing 1.5 billion people with our foods by the end of 2030.
Feeding 400 million people in need by the end of 2030.
Nurturing people and planet, including advancing wellbeing of 250,000 people in our food value chain, from farming communities to processors, and committing to set company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative net-zero standards.
Ensuring 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 will report on the 2024 progress against these commitments in our initial ESG report, which will be issued in 2025.
