Corporate Social Responsibility

Kellogg Company has a rich history of corporate social responsibility, a history that has grown and evolved
to meet the complexities of todays business world and the challenges of a global society. Our founder,
W.K. Kellogg, sought to invest my money in people. That legacy continues to guide our company and our
people. Social responsibility is a way of life at Kellogg. It means investing in and enriching our
communities. It means encouraging employee volunteerism. But it means much more. Our commitment to
being a good corporate citizen also includes:

Protecting our environment.


Selling nutritious products and advocating healthy lifestyles.
Acting with integrity and adhering to the highest ethical standards.
Promoting diversity in our work force and partnering with diverse suppliers.
Ensuring a safe, healthy workplace.

Nike has become one of those global companies targeted by a broad range of campaigning NGOs and
journalists as a symbolic representation of the business in society. In Nikes case, the issues are those of
human rights and conditions for workers in factories in developing countries. In the face of constant
accusations, Nike has developed a considered response, supported by corporate website reporting. It now

has a well developed focus for its corporate responsibility on improving conditions in contracted factories,
aiming for carbon neutrality, and making sports available to young people across the world. The criticism
continues, however.
