Who is General Mills?
General Mills is the world’s sixth-largest food company and our trusted brands are known the world over. Cheerios®, Betty Crocker®, Nature Valley®, Progresso®, Pillsbury®, and Green Giant® are just a few that may be familiar to you and your family. Just as importantly, General Mills is widely recognized for its giving culture. About 82% of our U.S. employees volunteer and we’ve contributed about 5% of our pretax profits to charitable causes for nearly a decade. Programs like Box Tops for Education and Yoplait’s Save Lids to Save Lives, to name just two of our philanthropic efforts, have collectively raised hundreds of millions of dollars over the years in the U.S. And others, such as General Mills’ Science and Technology Transfer Initiative, are already benefiting other parts of the world, including Africa. It’s all part of our corporate mission of Nourishing Lives – making lives healthier, easier, and richer.
