What are your responsibilities as Sr. Director of Sustainability for Conagra Brands?

Katya Hantel:

Sustainability at Conagra Brands is a cross-functional effort to bring everyday nourishment to people and the planet through four pillars of activity: Good Food, Responsible Sourcing, Better Planet, and Stronger Communities. We’re a 100-year-old company with a startup attitude—an imperative to transform how we do business. Category-changing ideas like our Swiss Miss packaging redesign come from insights, ideas, and expertise across our organization, guided by our timeless values of integrity, external focus, broad-mindedness, agility, leadership by all, and a focus on results.

As a member of our R&D Leadership Team, my role is to champion the development of more sustainable products across our portfolio of frozen, grocery, and snacks brands, from ingredient source to packaging end-of-life. I partner with sustainability teams and individuals across R&D, Environment, Health and Safety, operations, procurement, human resources, philanthropy, and other areas to bring this vision to life.
