At Kemin, social responsibility is rooted in our history and carried forward through purposeful action. Guided by the values of our founders, R.W. and Mary Nelson, whose deep sense of social responsibility laid the foundation for Kemin’s culture of care, we are committed to strengthening communities, advancing education and science, supporting food security and housing, and creating lasting social impact—locally and globally. Through strategic philanthropy, trusted partnerships, and employee-driven engagement, we work to improve quality of life and build a better future for generations to come.
Above: R.W. and Mary Nelson visit the Kemin Hope Primary School. Following the 2008 earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province, Kemin employees worldwide raised funds to rebuild a primary school in Qin Chang village. Opened a decade ago, the Kemin Hope Primary School now serves 300 students with modern facilities and continues to support the school by awarding annual scholarships -- investing in their education and brighter futures.

World Food Programme
Kemin partners with the World Food Programme (WFP) to enhance global food safety and quality, reaching over 25 million people annually. As a long-time corporate partner, we provide expertise in food systems and lab analysis to support WFP’s mission to achieve Zero Hunger.
Habitat for Humanity
For over 20 years, Kemin employees have supported Habitat for Humanity’s mission to provide safe, affordable housing worldwide. From building homes in Des Moines to leading relief efforts in Nepal and Brazil, our teams combine hands-on service and financial support to strengthen communities and bring hope to families in need.
Ellipsis
Since 1999, Kemin’s annual Holiday Charity Auction has raised over $1 million to support children served by Ellipsis in Des Moines. What began with one employee’s visit to a local shelter has grown into a cherished tradition—providing holiday gifts and funding essential services for youth in need. It’s a powerful reflection of Kemin’s commitment to community care and compassion in action.
World Food Prize
For nearly 30 years, Kemin has partnered with The World Food Prize to support global efforts to improve food quality, quantity, and accessibility. Founded by Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, the organization honors leaders in food security—aligning with Kemin’s mission to help alleviate hunger and address global food challenges.
