At Post Consumer Brands®, we make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all. We achieve our shared purpose by doing business the right way and investing in efforts to create positive change for people and our communities.

Watch Our CSR Commitments in Action

Besides our love for cereal, one thing all Post employees have in common is their shared passion for making lives better. Discover how we do right for our employees, our customers, and the environment.

Making an Impact on Our People, Communities and the Planet

Post is home to cereals and products that families across North America love, and sometimes depend on for affordable nutrition. That is a responsibility we take seriously. We are proud of our employees’ efforts to make Post a more equitable and sustainable company that people love to work at. But this is only the beginning.
