Labor Standards

We are committed to following the spirit and letter of the law with respect to labor standards all around the world. We maintain high workplace standards at all of our manufacturing and distribution locations, including but not limited to a safe work environment, adherence to compensation and employment laws and regulations, access to freedom of association, and freedom from child labor or forced labor. Kellogg conducts regular audits at its manufacturing and distribution locations to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and Kellogg policies in such areas as compliance with payroll requirements, hiring practices, benefits administration and other employment practices.
