General Mills Inc. executives provided investors and analysts an update on its strategic priorities and plans to accelerate growth at its Investor Day Oct. 14 at the company’s world headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Chairman and CEO Jeff Harmening, CFO Kofi Bruce and other General Mills executives outlined the company’s key growth initiatives focused on driving remarkability across its global brands. During the event, long-term growth targets and full-year fiscal 2026 financial outlook were reaffirmed.
“Since the launch of the Accelerate strategy, General Mills has undergone a significant transformation,” Harmening said. “We’ve actively reshaped almost one third of our portfolio, established leading-edge digital capabilities, invested to strengthen the remarkability of our brands and made meaningful progress against our people and planetary commitments.
“We’ve navigated tremendous volatility in the operating environment over the past five years, and with our strong foundation, we’re well equipped to keep adapting to a changing marketplace and driving growth,” Harmening continued. “I’m confident that the combination of our leading brands, differentiated capabilities and world-class people will enable us to deliver on our long-term goals and generate top-tier returns for our shareholders.”
At the Investor Day event, the company’s leaders:
- Highlighted the choices General Mills is making to deliver remarkable experiences for consumers across the total product offering, including product, packaging, brand communication, omnichannel execution and consumer value.
- Demonstrated how the company’s investments in best-in-class digital and technology capabilities are generating improved growth, efficiency and agility across the enterprise.
- Showcased the consumer-centric innovations and key growth-driving initiatives across its four business segments: North America Retail, North America Pet, International and North America Foodservice.
- Outlined the company’s plans to continue driving shareholder value through four key levers: sustainable sales growth, margin expansion, free cash flow conversion and cash returns to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.
