Fruit

As a leading producer of jams, jellies, preserves and juices, the Smucker name is synonymous with fruit. We partner with industry-leading organizations and growers to support research and best practices for the long-term viability of fruit supply chains across the U.S. We also regularly sample and test our fruit to prohibit substances and residues banned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.

Peanuts

With a handful of well-known and loved peanut butter brands in our portfolio, we are involved in the environmental health of peanut-producing regions in the U.S. These areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change events such as flooding, extreme heat events and disrupted water availability.

Issues Addressed

Climate Change
Grower Education
Agricultural Research

Notable Results

In partnership with the American Peanut Council, continued our support of the Sustainable U.S. Peanuts Initiative and its mission to help growers document and measure their environmental footprint and support continuous improvement.

In its second year, the project has increased grower enrollment by 144%, representing growers with more than 95,000 acres of peanuts across 10 states.

Seafood

Seafood is part of the supply chain in our pet food and pet snacks business. Unfortunately, in recent years, there have been reports about the use of forced labor through the practice of transshipping in certain areas of the world – transshipping involves the movement of fish from one ship to another at sea. We require all our suppliers to provide us with appropriate legal documentation to validate they are not sourcing their seafood in this unethical manner.

Palm Oil

Palm oil is a versatile stabilizing ingredient found in a range of products across our business, from pet food to ice cream toppings and sweet baked snacks.

Due to the social and environmental risks involved in the palm oil supply chain, we are committed to continued monitoring of our own supply chain.

No battery cages confining hens

Notable Results

As of December 31, 2022, we achieved our goal to source 100% of our direct purchases of shell eggs, liquid eggs and egg ingredients from cage-free hens for our pet food & snacks and frozen handhelds & spreads categories. 

We have extended our commitment to source 100% of our direct purchases of shell eggs, liquid eggs and egg ingredients from cage-free hens for our recently acquired sweet baked snacks business by the end of 2027. To help support continued progress on this commitment, we have established an interim goal to convert 50% of our direct purchases by 2026.

We also indirectly purchase a small quantity of eggs that are (i) in finished products produced for us by contract manufacturing partners or (ii) included as an ingredient of an ingredient we purchase.  We are currently exploring options for converting our indirect egg supply to cage-free.
