Kerr by Ingredion prides itself on its efforts in sustainability and has set aggressive goals to contribute to the environment. In addition to its work with Upcycled Certification, by the end of 2030, Ingredion plans on reducing Scope 1 and 2 absolute GHG emissions by 28% and water use intensity in high stress geographies by 30%. Kerr also encourages suppliers to identify sustainable farming practices in their operations, illustrating that sustainability is of high importance to the business. Suppliers work toward efficient fertilizer usage using low-nitrogen chemicals. They also implement pollinator programs to ensure that crops are pollinated fully and effectively and that bees have a safe environment to do their work. In additional efforts to promote sustainability, Kerr purchases imperfect watermelons that would normally be rejected for the retail market. The company also purchases dark sweet cherries that are out of retail-grade specification due to their size and color.
