Plant Co. division

A longtime leader in meat alternatives, Kellogg’s has continued to innovate its product offerings. In April, the company announced it would improve its sustainability by sourcing new and better soy ingredients, and committed to make all of its meat alternatives with renewable energy by the end of 2022. 

In June, Kellogg’s revealed it planned to separate its cereal, snacks, and plant-based food businesses into three separate divisions. The plant-based division, called PlantCo., would be anchored by Morningstar Farms, and will focus its resources and investments on strong prospects within the sector.

“Creating more value”

“Kellogg has been on a successful journey of transformation to enhance performance and increase long-term shareowner value,” Steve Cahillane, Kellogg Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said in June. “These businesses all have significant standalone potential, and an enhanced focus will enable them to better direct their resources toward their distinct strategic priorities.  In turn, each business is expected to create more value for all stakeholders, and each is well positioned to build a new era of innovation and growth.”
