Earlier this month, our Blue Buffalo team joined forces with Kroger Delivery and FOX Sports’ pit reporter, Jamie Little to support her ‘Shelter Surprise’ mission to help save rescue animals across the country, as she travels the NASCAR circuit. Together, the team made a special visit to Operation Kindness, a life-saving shelter in Carrolton, Texas where they delivered Blue Buffalo food, treats, and even covered the adoption fees for 100 deserving pets, providing them with a chance to find their forever homes. Thank you to Kroger, Jamie Little, and the entire team for helping make a difference for our furry friends! 🐾 #GStandsforGood #BlueBuffalo #Donations #Pets #PetAdoption

"As a food company, we are rooted in nature and in the farming communities that help us make food the world loves." Louise Iverson is on the General Mills Global Impact Team and leads our Human Rights and No Deforestation initiatives, which are on public display this week with the launch of our 2024 Global Responsibility Report. Louise has been busy finding ways to protect forests and support communities where priority ingredients are grown. She helps leads a 10-year partnership with CARE, supporting 50,000 cocoa farmers and 100,000 community members, with a special focus on women's economic empowerment and children's access to education. For Louise, who joined General Mills in 2017 after a decade in the non-profit sector, everything is connected. "When communities thrive, they’re better able to advance respect for human rights and protect forests. And the regeneration of forests and natural ecosystems benefit people, too, like producing cleaner air and water." She added, "I am always reminded of the power of positive impact. Change doesn’t happen overnight. The incremental progress we make through ongoing efforts can become monumental and transformational." #GStandsforGood #EarthMonth #GRR #employee #employeeexperience
