Sustainability

From small family farms to global shipping lanes, Cargill works every day to implement new sustainable practices to reduce our impact on the planet and protect people. Through our long history, we have seen agriculture be part of the solution to the world’s most urgent challenges.

We know that we must address climate change and conserve water and forests, while meeting the rising demand for food. These are complex challenges, but we have overcome many obstacles to keep our food system resilient and we will continue. We feel a deep responsibility to protect the planet and its people, to ensure a cleaner, safer future for generations to come.

Our Priorities

We’ve set priorities that account for the diverse environmental, social and economic impacts of our business. Still, we realize that no company can take on these challenges on its own. Through connection and collaboration with farmers, our customers, and global and local communities, we believe our food system will remain resilient.

Our Goals

Our goals guide our efforts – ensuring we make progress in line with what the science says is needed to keep our planet healthy and people thriving.

Climate

Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% by 2035.
Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2035.

Land & Water

Transform our agricultural supply chains to be deforestation free by 2030.
Enable a water positive impact in our operations, supply chains, and communities.

People

Improve the livelihoods of 10 million farmers by 2030 through training in sustainable agriculture practices and better access to markets.

Transparency and Governance

We believe accountability drives progress. Our sustainability goals are ambitious, but achievable – and we’ll hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency until we’ve accomplished them.

Our ESG report, supply chain grievance dashboards and other public information can be found on our Reporting Hub.
