THE GOURMET JOURNEY
FROM THE FIELD - TO YOUR FOOD
Greatness isn’t made, it’s grown by passionate farmers from all over the world. Our commitment to quality means that every bottle of McCormick Gourmet is full of ingredients you can trust, that help make flavours you love. A few examples of how quality meets flavour in our key products:
- Red Pepper seeds are sown in nurseries and seedlings are transplanted to the field
- Thyme is sourced from whole branches to improve flavour and reduce the risk of added ingredients
- Cinnamon is ground and bottled in our own facilities to maintain consistent product integrity
FROM US - TO OUR FARMERS
Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of at least 90% of the smallholder farmers who grow our five iconic herbs and spices by 2025 we strive to:
- Build upon nearly 25 years of relationships in India by continuing to improve our smallholder farmers’ livelihoods
- Empower women in the smallholder farming communities of our five iconic herbs and spices with access to education and skills training
- Invest in water purification systems in India to facilitate clean drinking water, expected to positively impact 19,500 people
FROM FARMING - TO OUR FUTURE
The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. A core piece of McCormick’s sustainability work is to address climate change. Initiatives to reduce our overarching carbon footprint on a global scale, and to help reduce our environmental impact, include:
- Supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices
- Farm-focused afforestation awareness and collaborative projects for Cinnamon
- Drip irrigation in place of conventional water practices for cayenne pepper
