McCormick Sustainability Actions

Launched Grown for Good

McCormick says it formalized its sustainability work in 2019 through Grown for Good, a company framework for sourcing and operations. The program covers multiple crops and countries and is meant to strengthen farming communities, improve ingredient supply, and reduce environmental impact. The company describes it as a third-party verified sustainability standard for the herbs and spices sector, which means an outside party checks parts of the standard rather than the company judging itself.

Supported water projects in Vietnam

McCormick says it worked with CARE International to assess ESG risks and social needs in black pepper farming communities in Vietnam. After safe drinking water was identified as a key need, the company funded water filtration systems in villages and schools. It also says local teams taught hygiene and clean water habits. The material says these projects helped hundreds of people directly and were part of wider community resilience work.

Reduced waste and water use

A third-party article about McCormick says the company reported a 6% cut in water use and recycled 75% of its solid waste through 2024. The same source says these gains were linked to resource-efficiency work across the business. This is an action because it describes results already achieved, not a future target. The figures come from outside commentary rather than a formal rating body.

Cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions

An outside source says McCormick has reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 37% so far, moving toward a 42% target for 2030. Scope 1 means direct emissions from things the company owns or controls, while Scope 2 means emissions from purchased energy like electricity. This is an action because the reduction has already happened and is described as progress toward a later goal.

Trained farmers and expanded organic land

A third-party article says McCormick helped train more than 1,000 cinnamon farmers in Vietnam and supported the conversion of over 5,000 acres of conventional farmland to certified organic cultivation. Organic farming means growing crops under rules that limit synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. The source presents this as part of the company’s supply-chain resilience work and its effort to support more sustainable farming practices.
