Our impact

Impact beyond the shelf

Most people see a product on a shelf. Behind it is a network of people, jobs and communities shaped by how food is grown, made and delivered.

From farms to local communities to kitchens, our impact takes shape through the food we make, the jobs we create and the communities we’re a part of.

It’s reflected in how our food reaches people, how our business supports the economy and how we invest in communities.

Our portfolio includes more than 100 brands and we have operations in over 100 countries.

That reach means we’re part of everyday life, from breakfast and snacks to meals and pet food.

Connecting impact to food

Our impact is closely connected to how food is produced, distributed and experienced.

We work across the food system — from farmers and suppliers to retailers and consumers — to help make food accessible, safe and relevant to how people live today.

This work includes improving nutrition, supporting agriculture and investing in systems that make food more resilient and widely available.

Supporting communities

We support communities through giving, partnerships and employee engagement.

More than 70% of General Mills employees participate in volunteer efforts and we support hometown communities through charitable contributions and local partnerships.

Our strategic philanthropy and community giving in General Mills’ hometown communities spanned six continents in 2025.

This work helps expand access to food, strengthen local organizations and support community resilience.

Advancing responsibility across our business and transparency

We take a broad view of impact spanning business and supply chain, food, planet and people.

Our Global Responsibility Report details progress the company has made across three priority areas – Food, Planet and People. The 2026 Global Responsibility Report reinforces the company’s commitment to transparency and features how General Mills is Standing for Good, a pillar of its Accelerate business strategy.
