Maternal health/breastfeeding
We have continued to make strides in supporting maternal health and breastfeeding and just recently launched a new program for US-based employees called Milk Stork. This resource ships any pumped breast milk home when employees travel for business either within the US or internationally, and Cargill covers the cost for the service. If employees travel overnight for business, Milk Stork will ship a TSA-approved cooler directly to the employees place of accommodation.

Nutrition policy (25,000)
Fully implemented.
With regards to our workforce nutrition policy, we are now taking a more country-led approach to this, with a broad range of employee wellness programming around the world that includes employee nutrition.
Fully implemented; evidence needed that the target number of employees has been met
1. By 2015: Working in collaboration with General Mills, DSM, and Buhler, Cargill is supporting Partners in Food Solutions to reach 200 small and medium enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa to improve the capacity, efficiency, and quality of local food processors to improve access to safe, nutritious food.
2. Cargill has an active business presence in Central America, and Guatemala is one of Cargill's priority countries for the Nutriendo el Futuro (Nourishing the Future) initiative, established in September 2012. Nutriendo el Futuro includes the partnership with CARE's Integrated Program for Vulnerable Children in Central America (EDUCAN) which helps children fulfil their rights to quality education and adequate nutrition. Since 2009, 24,000 children have improved their knowledge of nutrition and 9,500 parents have engaged in the education and nutritional health of their children. Over the next three years, Cargill is exploring new opportunities to work with CARE in Guatemala to combat food and nutritional insecurity to reach an additional 14,000 children in three main municipalities located near Cargill's operations in the country.
3. $1 million to promote micronutrient fortification of flour (Flour Fortification Initiative).
4. $150,000 over the next 3 years to promote sustainable salt fortification (Notre Dame Haiti Program).
These programs continue and we have many initiatives in different Cargill locations to support employee wellness and nutrition. Also, in light of Covid-19 we are working around the clock with farmers and our customers the worlds food retailers and service providers to continue feeding the world safely, responsibly and sustainably. We are prioritizing our employees health and wellbeing, as they are essential in delivering the food we all need to stay healthy and nourished. Weve also been actively supporting our communities across four key areas food security and nutrition, health and safety, support for agricultural communities, and food industry support.
