** During 2021 and 2022, a small amount of coffee was received as conventional (0.38% and 0.36%, respectively) due to COVID-19 impacts, supplier error or shipping delays. In 2023, 0.002% of coffee (a single shipment) was received as conventional per a customer requirement. We were also designated as the largest buyer of Fair Trade Certified coffee in the world for the 14th consecutive year by Fair Trade USA, which was based on purchases for both KDP and KDP-owned and partner brands.
***2021 was our final transition year, with 19% of cocoa purchased as conventional. At the end of 2021, all cocoa contracted going forward was 100% responsibly sourced through verification or third-party certification programs. This metric is updated from our 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report to reflect the percentage of responsibly sourced cocoa received during the year ended December 31, 2021.
