Our Accomplishments: • In our forestry supply chains, we use chain-of-custody certifications wherever possible to ensure we source from well-managed forests. • Regenerative agriculture programs are expanding, including introducing education on material efficiency, soil health and sourcing sustainable cotton. • Working groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) inform our sourcing policies and push for systemic improvement to agriculture systems (e.g., U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, The Natur e Conservancy, Field to Market, BCI Farmers, Cotton LEADS, FishWise). We also utilize third-party certifications such as Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). • We have updated our food animal welfare policy, aligning to latest industry best practice, and created a new public standard for animal-derived raw materials in gener al merchandise.
