Our Commitment to Equality

At Keurig Dr Pepper, we stand against intolerance and inequality in any form, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and inclusive workplace that is free from discrimination and where employee actions are consistent with our standards and values. 

We are committed to transparency and disclosure around our workforce demographics. Below you will find data submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (our EEO-1 report).  Please note the EEO-1 categories are not necessarily representative of how our workforce is organized. We believe the information we report in other filings, including our annual Corporate Responsibility report, is a more accurate reflection of our employee representation by level. You can view those reports here.

Our Political Engagement

Keurig Dr Pepper is committed to sourcing, producing and distributing our beverages responsibly, while making a positive impact on our consumers, customers, communities, employees and various other stakeholders. We consider it our duty and responsibility to support this commitment through our efforts to engage in the political process and the development of public policy. We are members of the Civic Alliance, a nonpartisan coalition of more than 1,100 businesses united in working together to build a future in which everyone participates in shaping our country. We are signatories of the organization’s Joint Statement for Protecting Voting Access, which supports safe and accessible voting for all eligible Americans.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Keurig Dr Pepper is committed to high standards of social and environmental responsibility and ethical conduct. We have created this Code as an extension of our own Corporate Code of Conduct to form the cornerstone of our commitment to responsibly source our products. This Code defines the universal standards that we require our suppliers to adhere to when conducting business with KDP. The requirements laid out in the Code are based on internationally recognized standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN Global Compact Principles and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work.

Brazilian Coffee Purchases

In addition to the requirements in our Supplier Code of Conduct, and in light of the Company’s awareness of the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment’s Dirty List, which publishes the names of Brazilian estates found to be profiting from conditions of forced labor, KDP has created a Brazilian Coffee Purchasing Policy. KDP expects all relevant coffee suppliers, and their upstream supply sources, to become familiar with, and comply with, the policy.

Conflict Minerals

We are committed to sourcing products, components and materials from companies that share our values regarding respect for human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. To that end, we are committed to the ethical sourcing of minerals including tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG).

There is concern that 3TG, often referred to as “conflict minerals,” could originate from certain mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which are controlled by armed militias who use the proceeds from the sale of these minerals to fund ongoing conflict in the region. As a result, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals, as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Rule”).

Regenerative Agriculture and Conservation

Regenerative agriculture and conservation actions are key drivers for protecting, restoring and managing natural resources. In 2021, KDP set a goal of supporting regenerative agriculture and conservation on 250,000 acres of land by 2030, which represents 50% of the land area used to grow all of the coffee, corn (for High Fructose Corn Syrup) and apples (fresh and for juice concentrate) that KDP purchases. KDP intends to meet this commitment through investments that support outcomes on coffee, corn, and apple-growing farmland, and by investing in conservation in our supply chain communities where these key ingredients are grown. This document outlines KDP’s methodology for measuring progress, which has been developed in partnership with experts including growers, NGOs, and industry organizations, and we will continue to evolve our approach as we implement projects and learn through collaboration with our community partners. We will share progress toward this goal annually in our Corporate Responsibility Report and also welcome feedback at sustainabilityservices@kdrp.com.  Project implementation partners should request the Excel version for tracking progress.
