The company discloses that it supports WWF’s work in the Northern Great Plains (NGP), which provides critically important habitat for thousands of species including wildflowers, songbirds, mammals, amphibians, and pollinators. Further, it discloses that the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides critical irrigation services to its wheat, corn, beef, and soybean supply chains, is strained from unsustainable use, and its support in this region includes two reseeding projects on large tracts of native land. However, no evidence found that the company discloses details and outcomes of its reseeding projects in areas affected by its own operations or upstream business relationships.
