Our strategy

Commitments and Progress
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and will continue to be transparent about where we’re doing well and where we have the opportunity to improve.

Corporate Responsibility goals
We report on our external commitments annually, which have been approved by our leadership team with oversight from the Governance Committee of our Board of Directors.
Our performance
We track year-over-year data demonstrating our corporate responsibility performance and progress toward achieving our goals.
In fiscal 2024, progress against our corporate responsibility goals was incorporated into our incentive compensation program, a step that reflects our focus on making meaningful improvements.

Materiality* at Campbell’s
We hold ourselves to high standards when considering how we create value and the impact we have on stakeholders. We identify the environmental, social, and governance topics that most affect our business and society through a materiality assessment. The assessment informs the direction of our corporate responsibility strategy, ensuring that our programs help us meet both strategic business objectives and other priorities. We conducted our most recent assessment in 2023.
*Please see our cautionary note on the term materiality.
Governance Structure
Oversight of ESG is conducted by the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors and is reflected in the Committee’s Charter. The Committee takes an active role in the evolution of Campbell’s ESG strategy and public reporting. To ensure that ESG is appropriately managed throughout the organization, we have designed the following governance structure:
- Board of Directors: Oversight of ESG activities is managed by the Governance Committee of the Board.
