Kellogg Sustainability
Full Credential Description
Kellogg Company faced significant challenges related to climate change, recognizing the potential impacts on their business if these issues were not addressed. To tackle these challenges, Kellogg committed to ambitious emissions reduction targets. Specifically, they aimed for a 15% reduction in emissions intensity (measured as tonnes of CO2e per tonne of food produced) by 2020 from a 2015 base year, alongside a 20% reduction in absolute value chain emissions from 2015 to 2030. Furthermore, Kellogg set a long-term goal of achieving a 65% absolute reduction in emissions by 2050 from the 2015 base year, and a 50% reduction in absolute value chain emissions by 2050.
The tailored solution involved not only internal operational changes but also collaboration with suppliers to reduce their emissions, marking a significant shift towards a more sustainable supply chain. This comprehensive approach reflects Kellogg's understanding of the interconnected nature of their business with various stakeholders, including suppliers, farmers, and consumers.
As a result of these commitments, Kellogg is positioned to significantly lower its greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to broader climate goals while enhancing its corporate strategy. The company’s proactive stance on sustainability is expected to yield long-term benefits, including improved operational efficiency and a stronger market position as consumer demand for environmentally responsible practices continues to grow.
