The data is clear: paying attention to metrics improves performance. When we track our fitness and nutrition, we acquire small insights that lead to corresponding changes in our behavior, and we end up feeling better. When we live by a budget, we save more money. And when we meticulously track farm inputs like fertilizer and pesticide, we end up using less.

We’ve set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to cut them by 20% by 2030. See how we’re taking action at every step in our value chain to help make it a reality.
