We strive to Be Sweet in all that we do to fulfill our purpose of touching and enhancing lives through the joy that is Krispy Kreme.
In early 2021, we completed our first materiality assessment to determine the ESG priorities that were most important to our investors, customers, employees, and communities. By incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into how we do business and our day-to-day operations, we address those issues that matter most as we become the world’s most loved sweet treat brand. We are proud to share our inaugural Be Sweet Responsibility Report which highlights our progress and goals to drive positive change for our Krispy Kremers, our communities, and the planet.

Our Commitment to Cage-Free Eggs
We continue to make steady progress toward our goal of using 100% cage-free eggs and now expect to meet it by 2025. In 2022, we reached 45% of the target while also outlining clear actions to meet it. One important action was a strategic product line exit during 1Q2023. The ingredients in this product line represented 70% of our egg use. This now means we will reach 75% of our reduction goal in 2024 and then fully meet it in 2025. We are pleased to be significantly reducing our animal protein use and always look for ways to reduce consumption at a faster pace.
