Our approach General Mills recognizes the imperative of using our scale to drive sustainable and meaningful change. We are dedicated to becoming a reflection of the world we seek, where equity and inclusion are a reality for us all. We know that meaningful change takes time — and it will take all of us to make progress at both the systemic and individual levels — and we are committed to continuing this critical journey with the strong belief that we can be a force for good. We continue to build on the positive actions we’ve taken for decades, and we recognize we still have a lot of work to do. We have committed to lead differently, vocally and tirelessly. The issues of social injustice are broad and complex, and we are focusing our efforts where our expertise can make the greatest impact: equitable food access, equity in education and equity in representation. Our goal is to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging that allows all our employees to thrive. Ensuring diversity of perspectives is core to our business strategy. We actively cultivate a culture that acknowledges, respects and values all dimensions of diversity — including gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, backgrounds and beliefs. We are committed to advancing racial equity within and outside our workplace. Our strategy: Using our global inclusion framework, we will advance engagement around the world, leveraging data to assess progress and hold ourselves accountable as we continue to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging at General Mills.
