    Cargill’s submission to

    the EU Code of Conduct on Responsible Business and Marketing Practices


    December 2021
    Cargill is a privately-held company that employs 155,000 employees across 70 countries. These
    employees work relentlessly to achieve our purpose of nourishing the world in a safe, responsible and
    sustainable way. Every day, we connect farmers with markets, customers with ingredients, and people
    and animals with the food they need to thrive. We combine 155 years of experience with new
    technologies and insights to serve as a trusted partner for food, agriculture, financial and industrial
    customers in more than 125 countries. Side-by-side, we are building a stronger, sustainable future for
    agriculture.

    As the world faces extraordinary challenges – from climate change to food insecurity – delivering on our
    purpose is more critical than ever before. Our commitment to protect the planet is multifold, addressing
    priorities such as climate change, water, land use, farmer livelihoods, and more. Cargill supports
    the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Working to nourish the world, protect the
    planet and empower communities, we know business plays an important role in advancing the Global
    Goals.

    Cargill’s commitment to supporting the aspirational objectives of the EU Code of Conduct on


    Responsible Business and Marketing Practices is aligned with Cargill’s 2025 business strategy, which
    prioritizes sustainability and climate action. Cargill’s global sustainability strategy sets clear priorities
    based on the most material issues to our business. Our key strategic priorities are focused in the areas of
    climate, land, water and people. Our climate and water targets are based on a science- and fact-based
    assessment of our key impacts across our value chain and have been validated through ongoing
    proactive engagement with key stakeholders and leading ESG experts. Cargill also plans to conduct a
    formal company-wide materiality assessment in 2022.

    As we drive progress against our sustainability priorities, we’ll do so by engaging, empowering and
    advancing sustainable practices across farm and field, because we believe agriculture is how we’ll
    deliver. Agriculture is also how we will address climate change, protect our land and water and
    sustainably feed a growing population. Due to our unique position in the agro-food value chain and
    close connections with farmers and food and beverage manufacturers, retailers and food service
    companies, our Code of Conduct commitments are centered on our existing goals to reduce greenhouse
    gas emissions in our supply chains and advance water stewardship.

    Our Code of Conduct Commitments


    In the framework of the Code of Conduct, Cargill is submitting the following existing global
    commitments:

    For climate, we are committed to reducing our Scope 3 emissions by 30% per ton of product by 2030.
    Our climate target has been approved by the Science Based Target Initiative.
    For water, our goal is to achieve sustainable water management in 100% of priority watersheds by 2030,
    measured against a 2020 baseline, through:
    1. Restoring 600 billion liters of water in priority watersheds.
    2. Reducing 5 million kg of water pollutants in priority watersheds.
    3. Implementing our Water Stewardship program at all priority facilities.
    4. Improving access to safe drinking water in 25 priority watersheds.

    Our water targets are science-based, and our actions will reflect the severity of the water challenges
    faced by that community and watershed, and our contribution to those challenges. Our water target
    setting approach was developed in close partnership with the World Resources Institute. To learn more
    about the process we took with the World Resources Institute to set our targets, click here. Cargill
    priority facilities were selected based on water stress and water usage. Together they account for more
    than 80% of our total operational water use.

    To track progress on our commitments and targets, please review our ESG Scorecard and our CDP
    Climate and Water responses in our Reporting Hub.

    Climate Action
    In support of our climate commitment, Cargill is making progress toward reducing our – and our
    customers’ – emissions across the supply chain and building climate resilience in agriculture. Together
    with farmers, we’re working diligently to deliver our science-based climate commitments while
    developing new markets for carbon, revitalizing landscapes through regenerative agriculture and grazing
    practices, promoting farmer livelihoods, and protecting forests and their surrounding ecosystems.

    We are committed to supporting adoption of soil health best practices. Enhancing soil health has many
    interrelated benefits, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving water quality, increasing
    drought resilience, enhancing farmer prosperity and helping to feed a growing global population. Soil is
    critical in helping slow climate change. As the largest carbon sink on land, soil stores over three times
    more carbon than forests and other vegetation.

    We believe regenerative agriculture practices will benefit the long-term profitability and resiliency of
    farmers while simultaneously advancing our progress against our science-based climate commitment to
    reduce GHG emissions in our global supply chain. Cargill is also developing solutions that reduce the
    greenhouse gas impacts of animal production, and other innovations across our business to advance
    sustainability.

    Water Action
    As stated above, Cargill’s global water commitment is to achieve sustainable water management in all
    priority watersheds in operations and supply chains by 2030 by applying a context-based approach. We
    define sustainable water management as effectively balancing and addressing the shared water
    challenges of availability, quality and access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH),
    using an approach that is informed by local context.

    We believe Cargill has an important leadership role to play in advancing water stewardship, working
    with partners across our value chain, to accelerate sustainable water solutions that protect water
    quality and quantity to promote access to clean water. We partner with farmers, customers and NGOs
    to encourage farming practices that improve water quality and availability, while supporting farmer
    livelihoods and community resilience.

    We are committed to taking action to improve community access to water in alignment with the U.N.
    Sustainable Development Goal 6. Cargill is a proud signatory of the CEO Water Mandate and a member
    of the Water Resilience Coalition. Both are UN Global Compact initiatives that mobilize business leaders
    on water, sanitation, and the Sustainable Development Goals. Our strategy aligns with the six core focus
    areas outlined by the Mandate. We will focus our water efforts on improving water availability, quality
    and access in the supply chains and regions where we are well-positioned to drive positive change.
