"For fiber packaging, General Mills has a target to source 100 percent by 2020 from recycled material or from virgin wood fiber regions where there is demonstrably low risk of any deforestation. We follow pulp, paper and packaging sourcing guidelines developed by the Consumer Goods Forum. In 2018, 99% of our fiber packaging supply is considered at low risk of contributing to global deforestation because the packaging uses either recycled materials or virgin fiber that is sourced from regions where deforestation is not occurring." "Wood fiber optimization x Efficient use: Use of forest materials should be optimized while also meeting safety, regulatory, performance and cost requirements. x Recycled content:Use of recycled forest materials should be optimized while also meeting safety, regulatory, performance and cost requirements. x Alternative fibers:Use of alternative fibers should consider the full life cycle impacts, food security impacts and impacts to biodiversity to avoid unintended environmental /social impacts."

"Soy: Soy is one example of our extended sustainable sourcing focus. General Mills is committed to sustainable soy production practices. We adhere to the Consumer Goods Forum soy sourcing guidelines to help meet industry commitments to stop deforestation by 2020. We also support the Soy Moratorium commitment to not purchase soy from lands that have been deforested in the Amazon biome after July 2006. The majority of the soy General Mills purchases is sourced from the U.S. – not an area at risk for deforestation." [...] "For other commodities often associated with deforestation such as soy, meat and dairy, our exposure to regions at high risk of deforestation are minimal. While we operate businesses around the globe, most of our ingredients support our North American and European operations where we work with local suppliers, farmers and ranchers. For soy, over 99% is sourced from North American origins that pose no risk for deforestation. Soy products for animal feed are purchased almost exclusively from U.S. and/or other origins with minimal to zero deforestation risk."
