Kellogg is a company with a Heart and Soul ... Our CSR

Today, the food industry and the marketplace in which we compete are being transformed in unprecedented ways, at unprecedented speed.

One thing that isn’t changing is who we are. From our earliest days, Kellogg has been a purpose-driven organization, a company with a heart and soul.

As we continue Kellogg Company’s 110+-year journey, we’re fulfilling our purpose of nourishing families so they can flourish and thrive by nourishing with our foods, feeding people in need, nurturing our planet, all while living our founder’s values.

Delivering Business Value through Brands with Purpose

Today more than ever, socially conscious consumers want to know that companies are making a positive impact on people’s lives and on the planet.

At Kellogg, continuing to grow our business and fulfilling our purpose of nourishing families so they can flourish and thrive are intrinsically linked.

Our Heart and Soul strategy, which comes to life through our Kellogg’s® Better Days platform, is integral to our Deploy for Growth business strategy.

Through it, we are successfully embedding purpose into our business, through our brands and in partnership with our customers, suppliers, NGOs and philanthropy partners.

In 2019, Kellogg Company took its corporate responsibility work and impact to the next level and launched Creating Better Days, our 11th annual Corporate Responsibility Report.

Kellogg’s® Better Days, is our ambitious next-generation global commitment to help end hunger by addressing the interconnected issues of food security, climate and wellbeing. Kellogg’s® Better Days will drive positive change for 3 billion people, communities and the planet by 2030, aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs).

Kellogg’s® Better Days builds on our Breakfasts for Better Days™ successes.

Through our next-generation Kellogg’s® Better Days commitment, we’re continuing our 110-plus year journey to drive growth through purpose by:
