Forests

Forests are essential habitat for over 80% of the planet’s terrestrial species. Global deforestation, which is primarily driven by agriculture, increases emissions, causes biodiversity loss, and can harm local communities. General Mills takes a Forest Positive approach for positive climate impact and to ensure resilient supply sheds for key ingredients like cocoa and palm oil. Our strategy focuses not only on halting forest degradation but also on the restoration of forest ecosystems and regenerative agroforestry practices on farms. Explore resources that inform our strategic approach in our supply chains and through collaborative, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
