Corporate social responsibility (CSR) at Post®

Helping to make better happen in the food industry

Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, fighting hunger, and more

You may know us best for the cereal we make, but we feel like our role in the world is a whole lot bigger.

As the third-largest cereal company in the United States, we believe it’s our responsibility to help make the world a better place. We’re committed to investing in several CSR initiatives that reduce our environmental impact and create positive social change for people and our local communities.
