Food insecurity and climate change are inextricably linked. That’s why our climate action includes measures to help farmers grow food more sustainably, and to decarbonize how we process and move goods.
Our global role in sustainability
Cargill’s sustainability strategy is aligned with the United Nations (U.N.) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals aim to end poverty, address climate change and ensure prosperity for all.
We have set science-based targets to advance the goals and are actively investing in and accelerating our progress against these targets.
