MINIMIZING SUPPLY CHAIN IMPACT Ingredients stand out as our largest carbon driver, and we have measurable progress underway.

Partnering with HowGood, the world’s largest ingredient sustainability database

HowGood helps guide sourcing decisions by tracking emissions, water usage and soil health risks

Product Spotlight PROTEIN OATS LOWER IMPACT BY DESIGN Our Protein Oats are a great example of how ingredient choice can lower environmental impacts.

• A new, conventionally bred variety that is naturally higher in protein • Naturally sheds hulls before harvest • Because the oat is hull-less, fewer processing steps required, eliminating several energy-intensive steps

WE OFFER 40+ ORGANIC PRODUCTS According to our friends at Organic Is the Answer, here’s why this matters: • No toxic pesticides or fertilizers • Protects soil, water, air and biodiversity • Strict standards, certified trust Non-GMO, no synthetic preservatives, and backed by the USDA Organic seal ORGANIC FARMING benefits

REGENERATIVE agriculture

BUILDING SOIL HEALTH We’re helping accelerate a collective shift toward regenerative agriculture.

• Partnering with growers to build healthy soil • Improving biodiversity and saving carbon • Collaborative approach to regenerate together

SOWING GOODNESS In 2024 we launched Sowing Goodness, made possible by the collective action non-profit Zero Foodprint , as well as contributions from key supply chain partners.

• Direct grants to farmers, including wheat, hazelnut and chickpea growers

• No-till, composting,

shelterbelts and other new soil-healthy practices adopted

• In 2026, over 13,000

more acres will implement the next new practice toward regeneration

RESILIENCY OF OATS We joined the Sustainable Food Lab’s Trusted Advisor Partnership, alongside Grain Millers and Oatly: • Local agronomists in the Canadian Prairies trained on region-specific regenerative practices • 470,000+ acres supported in 2025

MEASURING WHAT MATTERS In 2025, we began a multi-year study with our supplier Avena, and Field to Market Canada, to better understand how oat farming impacts the land:

Collecting data with our oat farmers

Pinpointing which regenerative practices improve soil health and cut emissions

Baseline measurements of the positive impact of oats on over 4,000 acres completed in year one

AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM SASKATCHEWAN (AITC-SK) Our help to advance nutrition education stretches north to Canada, home to much of the oats that we source. Since 2022, we’ve partnered with SaskOats & AITC-SK. Teachers shared that the program eased food insecurity and sparked curiosity, joy and community spirit. • Expanded nutrition education & access to wholesome breakfasts & snacks • 27,000+ students reached in Saskatchewan
