Hill’s Sustainability Actions

Joined regenerative farming pilot

Hill's Pet Nutrition joined ADM in a multi-year pilot to support regenerative agriculture on corn and soybean farms in the United States and Hungary. Regenerative agriculture means farming in ways that aim to improve soil health, biodiversity, water, and climate outcomes. The program covers 16,000 acres in Minnesota and Illinois and 2,500 acres in Hungary. ADM said it will track field data and report results, while farmers may receive financial incentives for using the new practices.

Expanded microbiome-based pet food

In 2025, Hill's launched new and updated Prescription Diet and Science Diet products that use ActivBiome+ technology. This is a blend of prebiotics and other ingredients designed to support the gut microbiome, which is the community of tiny living organisms in the digestive system. The company said the products are meant to help with digestion, immune health, and some medical conditions in pets. While this is mainly a nutrition move, it also shows continued investment in science-based product development.

Worked with veterinary groups

Hill's said it supported the veterinary profession through continuing education sessions, joint work with the Diversify Veterinary Medicine Coalition and blendVET, and sponsorship of a major veterinary event. These efforts were presented as support for learning, inclusion, and well-being in the veterinary community. The source does not give detailed sustainability outcomes, but it does show the brand linking its work with wider animal health and professional development goals.

Uses supply chain sustainability groups

Independent ethical review material says Hill's is a member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition, a nonprofit that helps pet companies improve environmental and social practices across the supply chain. The same source also notes that Hill's says it uses non-invasive, humane research methods needed to develop nutritional technology. This does not prove full ethical performance, but it does show the company is connected to industry efforts on sustainability and animal welfare.
