Kemin’s Sustainability Journey

Our Efforts Against Climate Change

As a family business, we are uniquely compelled to make this planet a safe, healthy and sustainable place to live for all future generations. As a global company, we have the responsibility and ability to reduce our carbon footprint and safeguard natural resources. And as a provider of key ingredients for humans, animals, pets and plants, we believe an ongoing commitment to sustainability is critical for healthy people, a healthy planet and a healthy business.

This is a journey, and every step forward is an achievement in transforming today into a better tomorrow. But together, we can do even more. Join us.


“This commitment is for our employees, our customers, our communities – and for all future generations. Companies like Kemin have the ability to take on this critical journey and unite others to join the global efforts against climate change. We must all do our part today to create a better tomorrow.”

– Dr. Chris Nelson, President and CEO

Using Clean Energy

To support our clean energy vision, we are increasing the use of renewable energy at our facilities and with our processes.  Around the world, we are producing and using solar energy, including onsite generation to support a clean-energy transformation.
