FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND VP OF SUSTAINABILITY
At Conagra Brands, our job is straightforward: make great food and run a great business. We do that by being innovative, operating responsibly, and supporting the people and communities that make
our success possible. Our Citizenship Strategy helps focus our efforts on the areas that matter most to our business and our stakeholders.
In fiscal year 2025 (ending May 25, 2025), we continued advancing our Citizenship Strategy across four pillars-Good Food, Responsible Sourcing, Better Planet, and Stronger Communities-guided by the priority topics that matter most to our business and our stakeholders.
This year's report includes an updated view of
those priorities and how they inform our actions and decision-making throughout the organization.
With our Good Food, we're helping consumers make informed choices and meeting evolving nutrition needs-supported by a portfolio that is structurally advantaged in protein-forward and fiber-forward snacks and meals, portion-controlled frozen meals, and convenient vegetables. We're continuing
to innovate to meet changing consumer needs and giving consumers front of pack labels like "GLP-1 Friendly" to help them identify foods that meet their unique dietary needs while also making detailed product information easier to access with approximately 7,500 SmartLabel® pages across more than 3,600 unique products.
For Responsible Sourcing, we're strengthening how we identify and manage sourcing risks across our value chain-with our teams working alongside our suppliers and farmers to advance responsible practices. We also initiated a priority-ingredients assessment of social and environmental risks
in our supply chain with the Kellogg School of Management and expanded our evaluation of our sourcing of deforestation-linked commodities to include both direct and indirect suppliers.
Our Better Planet initiatives included updating our long-term climate goals with new 2035 targets to align with current Science Based Targets initiative standards, strengthening our Scope 1 and 2 goals, and adding new targets for Scope 3 emissions, including Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) related emissions-and we're revising our packaging framework beyond the progress we made with our 2025 goals. Throughout the fiscal year, our teams continued to find innovative ways
to reduce and divert waste across our operations-diverting about 90% of solid waste away from landfills and incineration during the year.
We are most proud of our employees, who spent more than 10,000 volunteer hours working for 100+ nonprofit organizations to build Stronger Communities where we live and work and brought our Citizenship Strategy to life every day with their time, talent, and heart.
We're pleased with the progress we made in fiscal 2025, and we remain committed to embedding our Citizenship Strategy into how we operate and how we grow. Thank you for your interest in our work and progress as we continue this journey.

Good Food
We are dedicated to making safe, delicious, and nutritious foods that fulfill the needs of modern consumers, while providing them with access to the
information they want and need to make informed decisions about what they eat.
Better Planet
We believe that responsible environmental practices are a key ingredient for a healthy business. We are focused on the climate-related impacts of our business by reducing energy use, protecting and managing water resources efficiently, and minimizing or diverting waste for more beneficial uses.
Responsible Sourcing
We approach the sourcing of ingredients and packaging materials with care and consideration. We take into account
the potential environmental and social impacts of our products throughout their lifecycle and seek to support circularity through regenerative agriculture practices and thoughtful packaging design.
Stronger Communities
Our ambition is to be the most impactful, energized, and inclusive culture in food. Our team is driven by collaboration, innovation, and a desire to grow, and we support them with the tools they need to succeed and thrive in their careers. We also help fight the issue of food insecurity in the communities where we live and work through volunteerism, product donations, and financial contributions.
CONAGRA BRANDS 2025 CITIZENSHIP REPORT 7
Our Citizenship Strategy is grounded in a holistic view of the issues most relevant to our business, stakeholders, and communities. It is informed
by Conagra's strategic priorities, stakeholder engagement, industry trends, and emerging sustainability expectations.
We engage a broad range of internal and external stakeholders to assess alignment, identify risks and opportunities, and understand evolving priorities. Through recurring assessments that incorporate stakeholder input, peer benchmarking, and regulatory and societal developments, we identify and periodically refresh our priority topics. In fiscal 2025, we completed a robust assessment of not only the topics shown here, but also other topics and subtopics that are relevant to us, our stakeholders, or industry peers as we took a broad view in identifying our priorities.
These priority topics represent the areas where Conagra can drive the greatest impact and accountability and are reflected in the graphic. Together, they guide our actions and decision making across our four Citizenship pillars:
Good Food, Responsible Sourcing, Better Planet, and Stronger Communities.

Good Food
100% of Conagra production facilities completed Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)-recognized certification. All Conagra facilities that produce and handle food conduct mock recalls for ingredients, finished goods, and packaging at least once per year to strengthen traceability and recall readiness.
We expanded product transparency by making detailed product information easier to access, with approximately 7,500 SmartLabel pages live across more than 3,600 unique products.
In fiscal 2025, Healthy Choice® was the first major brand to add "GLP-1 Friendly" to the front of pack as part of its "On Track" badge, helping consumers identify products with high-protein and high-fiber attributes.
Responsible Sourcing
In collaboration with the Kellogg School of Management, we initiated a priority-ingredients assessment to better understand social and environmental risks in our supply chain
and focus actions where we can have the greatest impact. We strengthened how we identify and manage sourcing risks across our value chain
by taking a proactive approach to these risks to inform broader supplier risk assessments and identify opportunities for collaboration
and partnership.
We more than doubled the volume of deforestation-linked commodities
evaluated by expanding our methodology to
include both direct and indirect suppliers.
Better Planet
We continued investing in operational improvements through Conagra's annual $9 million Sustainability Capital Allowance, supporting
projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water, and minimize waste while driving efficiency across operations.
We aligned with the current Science Based Targets initiative guidelines to develop updated 2035 climate targets that strengthen Scope 1 and 2 goals and add new targets for Scope 3 emissions, including Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions.
Conagra's updated science-based targets are pending SBTi approval. In fiscal 2025, we reduced Scope 3 emissions 9% versus our updated fiscal 2024 baseline and completed a FLAG emissions assessment using HowGood® to better target supply-chain reductions.
Approximately 90% of the solid waste generated at Conagra facilities was diverted to more beneficial uses through recycling, product donations, use as animal feed, or land applications-and 19 production facilities were recognized as Zero Waste Champions for diverting more than 90% of waste from landfill and incineration.
Stronger Communities
Conagra employees volunteered more than 10,000 hours across 100+ nonprofit organizations, supporting
partners that help expand access to food for families facing food insecurity.
We donated more than 19 million pounds of food to Feeding America and its network of food banks, equivalent to more than 15 million meals.
During our Shine the Light on Hunger initiative, the Conagra Brands Foundation raised the equivalent of more than 8 million meals-surpassing our goal by 60%-to support the Food Bank for the Heartland in Nebraska and Western Iowa. The Foundation also made capacity-building grants to 28 Feeding America partner food banks, strengthening local hunger relief efforts in the communities where Conagra employees live and work.

Board Oversight
of Citizenship Strategy
The Board oversees our Citizenship Strategy across all four of our strategic pillars: Good Food, Responsible Sourcing, Better Planet, and Stronger Communities. This oversight is provided both directly and through its standing committees. Our Board and its committees
review our Citizenship Strategy on a regular basis and receive updates from management on our initiatives, related risks, and progress toward our goals.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our overall Citizenship Strategy. This responsibility includes oversight of significant risks that may, in the opinion of the Committee, affect the company's reputation, business and shareholder value such
as supply chain risk, environmental and climate sustainability, and community engagement.
Our Human Resources Committee reviews our approach to human capital management initiatives including those related to talent acquisition, development, assessment, and retention; employee health, wellness, and safety; employee policies related to compliance; and
our corporate culture, including our inclusion, diversity, and belonging initiatives, and its connection to our corporate strategy.
Our Audit/Finance Committee oversees management's overall enterprise risk management approach and its strategy related to information technology, emerging technology, and cybersecurity, regulatory and compliance matters, ethics and compliance program, environmental compliance matters (including risk related to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use), in addition
to the company's financial and accounting risk.
The Chair of each standing committee reports to the full Board following every meeting and the full Board also receives periodic updates directly from management on many areas of our Citizenship Strategy, including food safety, the oversight of which is considered a full Board responsibility.

Conagra has dedicated Food Safety, Quality
Food Safety Advisory Council
& Regulatory Affairs (FSQRA) teams that are focused on maintaining the integrity of our food-beginning with sourcing ingredients that meet our standards all the way through preparation and delivery to our customers.
Over the years, Conagra has invested in employee technical expertise, analytical and microbiological labs, and third-party reviews that enhance our scientific and technical capabilities to drive continuous improvement.
We understand the importance of remaining current on the latest industry and regulatory insights including market incidents, changes to food safety legislation and regulations, new technology, and analytical advances. This diligent monitoring increases our awareness and understanding
of potential risks and enriches our ability to make safe food.
Our food safety teams are comprised of subject
matter experts who provide functional leadership on all matters related to food safety and quality, including:
Food safety, quality, and regulatory requirements for production and distribution
Supplier food safety and quality
Consumer affairs
Sanitation and sanitation effectiveness
Allergen management
Microbiology, toxicology, and chemistry
Thermal processing
Religious and other specific certifications (Kosher, Halal, gluten free)
Engineering
Foreign material mitigation
Auditing
We engage outside experts to help us continually improve our food safety and quality programs.
For example, Conagra maintains a Food Safety Advisory Council of external experts who provide input on our food safety policies and practices and advise us on new and emerging food safety practices. The Council's members are recognized in the industry and regulatory community for their expertise in specific food safety disciplines such as food science, microbiology, public health, and public policy.
Training & Recognition
Conagra requires all of its frontline production employees and
their leaders to participate in a comprehensive food safety training program that runs over the course of a year.
This program features interactive content and new monthly courses, with regularly updated content through online and instructor led training sessions. These sessions are designed to educate and engage employees on critical topics related to food safety across the company. Training topics include foreign material control and prevention, allergen management, and good production practices, such as wearing the right personal protective equipment, following the correct hand washing procedure, and
the proper operation, cleaning and sanitizing of all machines and food handling equipment. In addition, Conagra developed its Supply Chain Academy, which extends to our FSQRA organization, to continuously evolve our training programs and build cross-functional knowledge across the business.
By celebrating our employees' vigilance and commitment to food safety we help mitigate hazards in the pursuit of continuous improvement. Conagra's RISE (Reduce Incidents Sustain Excellence) program encourages front-line workers to submit project ideas that improve food safety and quality
at their individual facilities. RISE recognizes the proactivity of our frontline employees and winning projects are honored with awards, distributed quarterly and annually.

Oversight of Supplier & Co-Manufacturing Food Safety
We also work closely with our suppliers to maintain the high standards of food safety and quality that we expect for our ingredients and products. Our suppliers use an accredited certification body to audit their compliance with GFSI standards annually. Approximately 95% of our direct suppliers have completed GFSI-recognized certification.
Our Supplier Quality and Co-Manufacturing Quality teams manage our relationships with suppliers and co-manufacturers to facilitate a comprehensive approach to food safety and quality. Through our quality management system, we can effectively manage supplier issues and audit findings. This collaborative approach promotes transparency and continuous improvement in the food safety practices of our suppliers and co-manufacturers.
In the event our food does not meet our high standards for safety, quality or regulatory compliance, we have defined protocols to guide us in addressing these situations.
When appropriate, we take prompt marketplace action with our customers and appropriate regulatory agencies to remove impacted product from the marketplace to protect the public. We quickly deploy resources to our facilities if there is a food safety event to identify and develop corrective actions. We review learnings from food safety
events and share best practices across our facilities to facilitate continuous improvement of our food safety programs. Additionally, we take a proactive approach with our co-manufacturing partners
and suppliers to foster strong, supportive, and collaborative relationships to build trust as well as a commitment to food safety.
All of our facilities that produce and handle food conduct mock recalls for ingredients, finished goods and packaging at least once per year so that we are able to quickly and accurately identify and control
such materials in the event of a food safety issue. This practice allows us to challenge and improve our traceability procedures, so that if there is a food safety incident we are able to quickly identify and control the impacted product. We also require our key suppliers and co-manufacturers to conduct similar mock recalls, further strengthening our collective commitment to product safety.
For additional Food Safety metrics, please refer to our Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosure.

Modernization and Technology
Our continued transition to digital records allows better communication across our operations and supply chain. Our investment in technology to improve our ability to access and utilize our data will increase our data analysis capabilities to inform real-time decisions, which enhances our product safety and quality program. Additionally, our ongoing Connected Shop Floor initiative, which is one component of our digitally connected supply chain infrastructure, includes increased production line connectivity, materials efficiency, and
performance management across our production facilities. This initiative includes installation of sensors in our equipment to provide real-time data into the cloud, which helps drive quality and identify potential losses to reduce waste. Also, as
part of this initiative, we have provided many of our front-line workers with tablets to facilitate real-time communication on the shop floor and enable them to leverage expertise across the company, data analytics, and image processing tools.
We continue to invest in new technologies to help us operate more efficiently and effectively so we can continue to deliver safe and high-quality products, including making technology investments in our production facilities in:
X-ray devices and optical scanners for foreign material detection
Label scanning equipment to confirm correct packaging
Sensors in equipment for real-time operational data
Tablets for front-line workers to increase communication
We seek out innovative solutions to modernize food safety practices throughout our operations. Our food safety program uses data (e.g., KPIs, analysis, quality reports, internal and external audits, consumer, customer and employee feedback, internal reports and training records) to ensure informed, consistent decision-making and verify compliance and consistency with our food safety expectations, plans, and operational procedures. Communication also plays an
important role in our food safety program, and we utilize many different channels from formal training, videos and informational signage, to mentoring and best practice sharing during shift huddles
and team meetings.

Supporting Consumers' Diverse Lifestyles and Nutritional Needs
GOOD FOOD
Conagra's innovation strategy is fueled by our understanding of consumers' priorities as they relate to food. Many consumers are looking for foods that support their health and wellness goals, fit their diverse lifestyles, and provide for their nutritional needs. Our nutrition approach is centered around supporting consumer access to healthy eating patterns,
as underscored by the foods we make and the nutrient profile of our products.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans1 encourage people to adopt healthier eating patterns by including a variety of food groups in their diet. Conagra's portfolio excels in offering convenient access to a variety of food groups including whole vegetables, portion-controlled frozen meals, whole grain popcorn, and quality protein. Brands like Birds Eye®, with many of its innovative frozen vegetable options, and Healthy Choice®, offering a variety of healthy meals to support consumers' nutrition goals, exemplify how we support healthy
eating patterns.

Offering Solutions for Individual Nutrition Goals

We provide a range of products to meet consumers' diverse nutritional needs, including Gardein® and Purple Carrot®1 vegan products, Udi's® and Glutino® gluten-free products, Hunt's® and Rotel® tomatoes, and Rosarita® and Ranch-Style® beans. For more than 30 years, our Healthy Choice® products have provided healthy lifestyle focused options. In fiscal 2025, Healthy Choice® provided low calorie, lower carbohydrate, no added sugars, grain-free, gluten-free, heart-healthy, vegan, and vegetarian options to support varied personal health needs.
Notably, in fiscal 2025, Healthy Choice® was the first major brand to communicate "GLP-1 Friendly" on the front of the package. This call-out signals to consumers on GLP-1 medication
that these products are uniquely suited to help meet their dietary needs. This "GLP-1 Friendly" claim is part of the "On Track" badge, helping consumers quickly identify products that are GLP-1 Friendly with high protein and containing fiber, two important attributes for those on weight loss medications. The On Track badge only appears on products that meet the USDA standards for "Healthy" ensuring that consumers are purchasing products that truly support healthy dietary patterns during weight loss or weight maintenance.
Beyond Healthy Choice®, our Birds Eye® vegetable products also help consumers meet their health goals. Our plain frozen vegetables, which comprise 46% of total sales of Birds Eye®,2 have no salt or preservatives added-just plain vegetables frozen after harvest. With less risk of nutrient degradation than refrigerated vegetables that could spend weeks before consumption in transit, on the grocers' shelves, and in consumers' refrigerators, frozen vegetables are an excellent choice to
help consumers meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans' goal of eating
more vegetables every day.
NEW HEALT INNOVATIONS
New vegetable innovations include Birds Eye® Garlic Herb Baby Potatoes, Birds Eye® Teriyaki Glazed Green Bean, Birds Eye® Garlic Butter Broccoli, Alexia® Hot Honey Carrots, Alexia® Balsamic Brussels Sprouts & Carrots, and Alexia® Parmesan Truffle Broccoli. These options help offer more choices, even beyond plain vegetables, for consumers trying to balance healthfulness with the desire for convenience and enjoyment.
Innovating to Fuel Healthier Lifestyles
HIER VEGETABLE
Conagra invests in innovation in flavor combinations, packaging, and nutrition to ensure our products remain a top choice for consumers seeking delicious, convenient, and healthier food options. Portion-controlled single-serving meals are a go-to for many consumers looking for good nutrition in the frozen aisle, and it's where we provide solutions for every palate. For example, in fiscal 2025 we launched Healthy Choice® innovations which include Balsamic Garlic Steak, Creamy Marinara Chicken, Lemon Parmesan
Chicken, and Salsa Verde Chicken, all plated for a more classic meal experience. For a more casual experience, new bowls in fiscal 2025 included Healthy Choice® Spicy Steak Burrito Bowl and Pasta with Chicken Bolognese.

Delivering Nutritional Quality
CONTENTS ABOUT CONAGRA BRANDS
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING BETTER PLANET STRONGER COMMUNITIES APPENDIX
In addition to the variety of foods we make, the nutritional quality of these foods is critical in supporting our overall effort to provide access to healthier eating options.
In their most recent 2024 Global Index, Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNI) evaluated the nutrient quality of our products along with the products of the largest global food and
beverage companies using the rigorous Health Star Rating (HSR) system.1 The HSR evaluates foods based on calories, saturated fat, total sugars, sodium, protein, dietary fiber, and 'fruit, vegetable, nut and legume (fvnl) content.' Conagra was rated 9th of 30 companies in the world by ATNI in its 2024 Global Index's evaluation of the product portfolio, with 51% of sales derived from products with an HSR rating of 3.5 or above, falling under HSR's definition of "healthier." We are proud to provide consumers with convenient choices that contribute positively to healthier eating patterns.
In addition to the ATNI HSR assessment, which includes the top five food categories each company sells globally, Conagra conducted an HSR assessment on other key segments of our portfolio.
We assessed the frozen meal and vegetable segments of our portfolio, as these make up a significant portion (37%) of the company's total sales2 and are the food categories that have the most potential to support healthier eating patterns. We found that more than 68% of our meals and vegetable products score 3.5 or greater, the threshold HSR defines as "healthier."
Our plant-based offerings are another example of our robust nutritional options. The results of Conagra's HSR nutrient assessment showed that
89% of net sales2 of our vegan meals and meat alternatives, including portion-controlled Purple Carrot® frozen meals and Gardein® products, qualify as "healthier" under HSR based on a score of 3.5 or greater. Our Gardein® brand of vegan plant-based proteins generated more than $132 million in retail sales in fiscal 2025.2 Our line of Gardein® products utilizes 100% plant-based ingredients and allows vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians to enjoy protein from plant-based, natural foods.
Supplying essential vitamins, minerals and fiber, Birds Eye®
is our second largest brand and generated more than $1.3 billion in retail sales in fiscal 2025.2 Birds Eye® is more than plain vegetables. It includes frozen
multi-serve meals and an array of flavorful vegetable dishes. When evaluating the nutrition profile of the entire Birds Eye® brand, the results show that fully 93% receive an HSR score of 3.5 or greater.
Consumed by more than 19 million households annually, Healthy Choice® meals have a meaningful impact on consumers' eating patterns. Within the last couple years, Conagra engaged the firm GlobalData to assess the nutrition impact if Healthy Choice® frozen single serve meals were replaced with other meals. The analysis suggests that, relative to common alternatives, Healthy Choice® meals may help support more positive eating patterns by moderating calorie, sodium, and saturated fat intake. GlobalData estimated that replacement of Healthy Choice® meals with competitive frozen meals over 20 years would result in cumulative consumption of more than 29 billion calories, 84 tons of sodium, and 10,068 tons of saturated fat and replacement with average American meals would result in 117 billion more calories, 223 more tons of sodium and 18,885 more tons of saturated fat being consumed.3
