Discover The Goodness

We’re really glad you asked Juanita, helping people in need has been at the core of the Kellogg Company since W.K. Kellogg made the first corn flake. We support lots of different initiatives through the W.K Kellogg Foundation, and we also have a global hunger relief programme that has provided one billion servings of cereal and snacks to children and families in need since 2013.

In Australia, we have already donated over 17 million serves of cereal to Foodbank, schools and charities since 2013. Our Breakfast Buddies program, which supplies schools, school centres, outback and indigenous communities, sporting clubs, child and learning forums, and other community groups with Kellogg’s cereals, helps prevent children from starting the day hungry.

Hey Andrew, thanks for your question. The plastic bags or liners as we call them are made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), which is not readily recycled in the yellow council bins.

But there is a solution! You can take the liners (and any other soft plastics you have) to your local supermarkets who have REDcycle bins. REDCycle then transforms these plastics into useful items such as plastic furniture and playground equipment, which helps to reduce the amount of HDPE plastics from going to landfills.

Taking care of the planet is very important to us Aurora. Last year Kellogg’s released its global sustainability goals for 2020 and work has already been done on introducing measures that will see us further reduce energy and water use across our business, achieve 100% certified sustainable packaging, send zero waste to landfill and responsibly source our ten priority ingredients - which are corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, cocoa, sugar beets, sugar cane, palm oil, fruits and vanilla.

Here on home soil, we have been working to reduce the footprint of the business. We are already diverting 95% of waste from landfill, as well as implementing water and energy-saving projects in our factory.

Hi Rhonda, although we are a very small user of palm oil, we’ve been committed to responsibly sourcing palm oil since 2009. All of the palm oil that is used in our products is sourced from a combination of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Certified Segregated supply chain, RSPO Mass Balance mixed-source supply and the purchase of Green Palm certificates.

We’re always working with our global suppliers to source fully traceable palm oil from certified sources that are economically, socially and environmentally responsible. Our suppliers have to adhere to a strict set of criteria that ensures forest and peat lands, and human rights are all protected.

As part of our overall climate commitments, Kellogg is committed to achieving zero net deforestation by 2020 in high-risk supply chains including soy, palm oil, timber, fiber and soy.
