Social Responsibility

A Legacy of Giving, A Future of Impact

Kemin is committed to building a better future through purposeful charitable giving, nonprofit partnerships, and active engagement in the communities we serve around the world.

This commitment began with our founders, R.W. and Mary Nelson, whose deep sense of social responsibility laid the foundation for Kemin’s culture of care. As we grow and expand our global reach, we continue to honor their legacy by supporting causes aligned with our mission to improve the quality of life.

Through strategic philanthropy and employee-driven initiatives, Kemin remains dedicated to making a meaningful difference—locally and globally.
