Key Takeaways:

• In 2023, Hershey expanded its partnership with Earthworm Foundation and Airbus to help us achieve No-Deforestation Verification across our priority ingredients and materials, supported by Starling, a satellite monitoring solution.
• Our updated Deforestation and Conversion-Free Policy accelerates our timing to achieve our commitment by December 31, 2025 and serves as a critical component to delivering on our ambition to reduce value chain emissions.
• Hershey is invested in conserving standing forests that are home to endangered plant and animal species in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Indonesia and working through tree-planting partnerships as part of our agroforestry and reforestation efforts.

At Hershey, we have always said that doing good by the planet is not only doing the right thing - it's good business. That statement is as true today as it was when our founder, Milton Hershey first said, "There is not a person alive who should not plant a tree - not for the shade that you'll enjoy, but for those who are coming after."

Hershey continues to invest in healthy forests and natural ecosystems. We understand the critical role of trees in contributing to climate change resiliency, farm resiliency, carbon reduction, and biodiversity as well as economic opportunities for forest-dependent families and communities.

Expanded No Deforestation Monitoring & Verification Partnership

Since 2020, Hershey has worked with Starling, a satellite monitoring solution co-developed by Earthworm Foundation ("Earthworm") and Airbus, to monitor and verify that our palm oil supply chain is deforestation-free.

In 2023, we expanded this partnership to help us achieve No-Deforestation Verification across several of the priority ingredients and materials we source, supported by the use of Starling. Starling allows us to see where deforestation occurs in our supply chain in near real-time and enables us to take action with supply chain partners and local stakeholders to manage potential deforestation alerts. We can then verify if the ingredient or material is not linked to deforestation or if remedial actions may be required.
