Safeguarding Our Planet
It has never been more imperative that our responses to an ever-evolving world remain thoughtful, considerate, measured, and collaborative.
- We are well on our way to meeting our goal of having 100% of our Tier 1 crops (i.e., corn, tapioca, potato, stevia, and pulses) sustainably sourced by 2025, having reached 66%* by the end of 2023.
-
Our commitment to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions progressed meaningfully last year.
- We continued our transition in Brazil to renewable energy with the installation of two biomass boilers and contracting renewable electricity, reducing our Brazilian CO2 emissions by 7% annually. In 2023, our four Brazilian plants purchased 95+% renewable electricity.
- We installed floating and land-based solar panels in Thailand and land-based panels in Pakistan.
- As a founding member of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform regenerative agriculture program, we are helping to develop a regenerative framework for the food and beverage industry.
- The collaborative regenerative agricultural projects with customers are generating incremental value across the supply chain for Ingredion as well as for farmers and customers. We expanded projects with growers by 56,000 acres, putting 70,000 acres under regenerative projects.
- In partnership with the Kenyan government and other entities, we helped feed 50,000 school children in 2023, with the goal of serving 100,000 in 2024 and 2.4 million in 2025.
