2019 Corporate 
Responsibility Report

Executive Letter
We compile this report to reflect on our progress toward our corporate responsibility goals amidst an extraordinary global health 
crisis and as our nation tackles issues of equality and justice. During these tumultuous times we reaffirm our commitment to 
listening, learning, revising and responding to the changing needs of the many stakeholders across our value chain.
Against this backdrop, we are proud of how 
quickly and effectively our 26,000 employees 
have united to keep each other safe and healthy, 
deliver for our customers and consumers and 
provide for our communities. Our response 
reflects our commitment to harness the collective 
power of our business to make a positive impact 
in the lives we touch.
In 2019, we introduced our new corporate 
responsibility platform, Drink Well. Do Good. 
Through this platform we established multi-
year goals and initiatives for our supply chain, 
the environment, health and wellbeing and 
our communities. To meet these ambitious 
commitments, we designed a comprehensive and 
flexible program, allowing us to direct resources 
toward opportunities that are meaningful to our 
planet, our business and our people.
The challenge of eliminating waste impacts us 
all—so we’re focused on ensuring our packaging 
is recycled and repurposed to remain in use and 
out of the environment. At the close of 2019, we 
forged a partnership with the American Beverage 
Association and industry peers to launch the Every 
Bottle Back initiative, backed by a $100 million 
industry-led investment in recycling infrastructure 
and consumer education. We will continue to 
invest in partnerships that amplify our individual 
actions, including our most recent effort as a 
founding sponsor and largest funder of The 
Recycling Partnership’s Polypropylene Recycling 
Coalition, an industry collaboration designed to 
increase and improve the recovery and recycling of 
this valuable plastic in the U.S. 
We are also focused on reducing our carbon 
footprint. New to our corporate responsibility 
platform this year is the unveiling of our 
science-based carbon-reduction goals. The new 
commitments have been validated by the Science 
Based Targets initiative, ensuring that we are 
doing our part to mitigate climate change by 
reducing carbon emissions across our value chain.
During this past year we became inaugural 
members of Business For Inclusive Growth 
(B4IG), a coalition of 40 leading international 
companies committed to business action to 
advance human rights, build inclusive workplaces 
and strengthen inclusion across company value 
chains. We also launched our new Keurig Dr 
Pepper values, uniting all of our employees under 
one common culture and fostering a strong, 
cohesive environment in which everyone operates 
with shared purpose and common goals. These 
values are at the heart of everything we do and 
were developed with significant employee input. 
We know that unpredictable challenges lie ahead, 
which will require resiliency, adaptability and 
empathy—all strengths of our Keurig Dr Pepper 
team. We will continue to prioritize societal 
and environmental health alongside our own 
business prosperity, and we will continue to 
pursue cross-industry partnerships with the belief 
that collective action positions us all for greater, 
shared success.

The Environment: 
Refreshingly Responsible
MAXIMIZING OUR EFFORT,  
MINIMIZING OUR FOOTPRINT
Reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink. It takes all four—
across all parts of our business—to move toward 
positive environmental impact. So we continue 
to look for new solutions and partnerships that 
accelerate change. This past year, we activated 
plans and projects to reduce our virgin plastic 
footprint, our emissions and our energy use.

Packaging: Thinking Circular in All We Do
Keurig Dr Pepper’s broad portfolio of products requires a range of packaging materials, 
and we are focused on enabling a second life for all of them.
We know driving demand for 
recycled plastics by increasing our 
use of PCR content is critical to 
supporting the broader circular 
economy, in addition to reducing 
our use of virgin plastic and our own 
carbon footprint.
Therefore, circular solutions are 
at the heart of our sustainable 
packaging efforts, and we continue 
to focus on three priority areas: 
innovative design, increased recovery 
and use of recycled materials. We’re 
pleased to report progress in all 
three areas during 2019. 
Design 
We are continually innovating our 
packaging designs and processes 
to reduce our total material usage 
and incorporate materials that are 
accepted for recycling and highly 
valued as PCR content, in order to 
eliminate unnecessary plastics. For 
example, in 2019, we transitioned 
our A&W Root Beer bottles from 
dark to clear plastic, which is more 
compatible with recycling processes 
and helps to produce a higher quality 
end product, increasing its likelihood 
of reuse by KDP and others.
To ensure our packaging is 
optimally designed to be recovered 
by recyclers, we adhere to the 
Association of Plastic Recyclers 
(APR) guidelines. We also use 
lifecycle assessment (LCA) tools to 
better understand the environmental 
performance of our packaging 
throughout its lifecycle.

Our Workplace
 
Data Appendix
We continue to use a variety of 
sustainable packaging options 
across our portfolio, such as 
recyclable aluminum cans. Deja Blue 
was the first water brand available, 
over 10 years ago, in recyclable 
aluminum cans, and many of our 
new brand partners like Adrenaline 
Shoc® (A-Shoc®) and Limitless® 
are sold exclusively in recyclable 
aluminum can formats.
In 2019, with 87% of our packaging 
now recyclable, we are well on our 
way to achieving our goal of 100% 
recyclable or compostable packaging 
by 2025. 
In addition, we continue to innovate 
package-free options for consumers, 
such as batch-brewed coffee 
and fountain drinks, that can be 
consumed in reusable glassware or 
reusable glass bottles. In addition 
to significant volumes of refillable 
beverage servings, new options and 
investment in reuse infrastructure 
are critical. In 2018, KDP invested 
in LifeFuels, Inc., to accelerate the 
commercialization of their reusable, 
portable drink maker.
Recovery 
Through partnership and 
investment, KDP is working to 
recover more of our packaging 
materials and affect needed 
change in recycling behaviors and 
infrastructure in North America. We 
launched our sustainable packaging 
engagement strategy in 2014, as an 
initial investor in the Closed Loop 
Infrastructure Fund and supporter 
of community projects led by The 
Recycling Partnership in the U.S. 
We are now mobilizing on material-
specific, regional collaborations 
with the same two leading 
environmental organizations, as 
well as the World Wildlife Fund, 
to provide expertise and rigorous 
reporting and to help direct 
investments to where they can have 
the greatest impact.
Earlier this year, we co-founded the 
Every Bottle Back initiative with our 
industry peers, led by the American 
Beverage Association, to ensure 
our bottles stay out of our oceans 
and waterways and become new 
bottles or other everyday products. 
Together, we’re working to increase 
plastic bottle recycling through 
a $100 million industry-funded 
investment program. These funds 
will help recycling facilities across 
the U.S. make critical infrastructure 
improvements as well as increase 
consumer education on “recycle 
right” behavior—all with the goal of 
getting more bottles back so they 
can be reused again and again. 
In July 2020, KDP announced our 
founding sponsorship and status 
of lead funder for The Recycling 
Partnership’s Polypropylene 
In 2019,

Recycling Coalition, dedicated 
to increasing the quantity and 
quality of polypropylene plastic 
recycling in the U.S. and solidifying 
its status as a standard curbside 
recyclable material nationwide. 
Similarly, and in order to optimize 
plastics recycling in Canada, KDP 
co-founded the Circular Plastics 
Task Force with several other 
companies. The Task Force aims to 
identify and trial concrete solutions 
to align market needs with the 
plastics recycling value chain and 
to build a circular plastics economy 
in that country. Overall, KDP has 
committed over $30 million since 
2014 in collaborative projects and 
partnerships in North America to 
encourage the circular economy. 
Recycled materials
To build a more circular economy, 
we’re working to use more PCR 
content, including glass, metal, paper 
and plastic, in our packaging and 
products and items used to support 
our business and partnerships. In 
2019, we manufactured our first 
brewers made in part with PCR 
plastic and are exploring ways to 
increase its use across our brewer 
portfolio. In 2019, 20% of our overall 
packaging was PCR, and we are 
investing in initiatives to increase 
the quantity and quality of recycling 
as we march toward our goal to 
use 30% PCR content across our 
portfolio by 2025. 
 
Circular opportunities exist 
across our business and via our 
partnerships. For example, we 
incorporated recycled content 
into materials for our Let’s Play 
playground builds for the first  
time in 2019—using an average  
of 46% recycled content in 11  
new playgrounds.

GOING 100% IN ON RECYCLABLE 
K-CUP® PODS
Making 100% of our K-Cup® pods 
recyclable continues to be a priority 
packaging goal. Our recyclable pods 
are made of #5 polypropylene, a 
material that is high-value, versatile 
and currently in high demand as 
a recycled material. We hit that 
milestone in Canada in 2018, and 
we’re on track to meet this goal in 
the U.S. by the end of this year.
All of our packaging lines across 
our manufacturing network in the 
U.S. and Canada are now ready to 
produce the new recyclable K-Cup® 
pods. This required transforming 
more than 100 diverse packaging 
lines to properly manage the newly 
designed pods. We also worked with 
our raw material partners to support 
them in making the appropriate 
changes to their products. As we 
near the 100% transition for all 
pods, our work carries on. We will 
continue to work with recyclers and 
communities to improve sortation 
and processing for polypropylene so 
it can be reused in future packaging.
GIVING OUR PODS NEW PURPOSE
K-Cycle™ (formerly Grounds to Grow 
On®), our workplace recycling service 
for customers and our own facilities, 
grew significantly in 2019. Renewed 
focus and education around the 
program led to an almost 300% 
increase in volume in the last four 
years. Keurig Canada launched 
their own program in January 2019 
with recycling partner Emterra 
Environmental and has since made 
it available across the country. In 
2019, both programs combined kept 
over 1.4M pounds of material out of 
landfills.

Waste: Zeroing In On Our Goal 
In 2019, we achieved zero waste in our hot beverage manufacturing network, enabled by 
projects including recycling our burlap coffee bean bags and composting coffee grounds. 
Across our hot and cold beverage production sites, we kept 88% of our total waste out of 
landfills. We are on track to meet our goal of zero waste to landfill by 2025, while building 
a zero-waste culture across our business.
SUSTAINABLE FROM THE START IN 
SPARTANBURG 
In 2019, we continued construction on 
our new Spartanburg, South Carolina, 
K-Cup® pod manufacturing site, 
which will be our first site designed 
from the ground up for zero waste 
and increased energy efficiency. In 
July 2020, the Spartanburg facility 
was named the largest industrial 
manufacturing facility certified under 
LEEDv4 BD+C in North America.
The highly automated production 
process for all of our manufacturing 
lines at the site was designed to 
eliminate waste. Specific separation 
of materials for compost, recycling 
and reuse ensures all materials are 
put to highest value use. The plant 
will have a best-in-class waste baler 
for paper and cardboard, and will 
use shipping trays made  
from recycled plastic  
that will be returned  
to our supplier for  
reuse, completely  
eliminating that  
cardboard waste  
stream. 
In 2019, 
88%
of total waste was  
kept out of landfills
Our Sustainability Room 
in the new Spartanburg 
facility moves all waste 
from production to 
be recycled, reused, 
repurposed or converted  
to energy.

At KDP’s new Texas headquarters 
under construction in a growing area 
just north of Dallas, our sustainability 
commitments will be brought to 
life for employees and visitors as 
we implement actions aimed 
at reducing the building’s 
environmental impact. The 
facility is targeting a high-
level LEED certification (for 
Commercial Interiors) and 
will integrate recycled 
material, including 
recycled KDP packaging, 
into furniture and 
surfaces throughout 
the space. Inspirational 
signage and branding 
in all areas of the new 
facility will inform and 
educate our teams 
and guests about our 
sustainability journey 
and commitments.
ALL-IN IN ALLENTOWN 
KDP’s new Allentown cold beverage 
production facility is being designed 
and built to enable product benefits 
like recyclability and significant 
operational efficiencies. A few key 
features minimize the impact of 
transporting materials to the site. 
Bottle preforms will be delivered 
from a local supplier and blown into 
bottles on-site, reducing the volume 
of shipments otherwise required. A 
rail spur is being added for access to 
the site so that in the future, other 
materials can be shipped in by rail, a 
lower emissions transportation mode 
than over the road. In addition, the 
site has access to public transport 
services, so employees will have a 
lower carbon footprint option for their 
commutes.

Water Stewardship: Making Every Drop Matter
Water is a precious natural resource that is the essence of our business. Because it’s the primary ingredient in most 
of our beverages, we have a particular responsibility to be good stewards of water use in our operations and in the 
communities in which we operate. 
In 2019, we set a new stewardship 
direction for KDP. This started with a 
new corporate water policy, stronger 
governance processes and enhanced 
transparency, including reporting to 
CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure 
Project) Water. These reports are 
publicly available here and include 
additional detail on water-related  
risks and opportunities. 
SETTING A HIGH BAR FOR  
HIGH-RISK COMMUNITIES
To refine our understanding of 
challenges for our high water-risk 
sites, we are assessing the water 
management and operation of each 
site in the context of the surrounding 
watershed, the local water issues 
and other local entities’ interest 
and perspective on those issues. 
We’re also working with The Nature 
Conservancy to ensure our efforts in 
these communities are comprehensive, 
grounded in scientific understanding 
and locally relevant.
Since 2014, we have replenished 73% 
of the water used for our coffee 
beverages and for cold beverage 
production in our highest water-risk 
manufacturing locations.

TAKING VITAL STEPS FOR A VITAL 
RESOURCE
In 2019, we chartered a water 
optimization team to create an even 
greater appreciation for water use in our 
business and to develop comprehensive 
water management practices that 
improve our usage and performance. The 
team prioritized operating sites to assess 
three key areas: water reduction and 
efficiency, stewardship in the surrounding 
communities in which we operate, and 
focused attention on emerging trends 
and issues for water quality. 
We continue to track our water usage 
ratio and establish visibility of this
important metric. Overall, in 2019,
we improved our water use efficiency
by 4.4% from our baseline. Some of
our bottling plants did particularly well,
achieving water use ratios (liters of water 
required to make a liter of product) below 
1.60 for the year.
OUR WATER FOOTPRINT AND  
RISK ASSESSMENT
To understand the different causes and 
magnitude of our water impacts, we 
assess our water footprint across our full 
value chain. The largest portion of our 
footprint comes from indirect water use 
consumed when growing agricultural raw 
materials. We analyzed the water risk 
for our top two raw materials—coffee 
and corn—across quantity, quality and 
climatic trends. We’re managing these 
risks through our Supplier Code of 
Conduct, product-specific standards and 
water stewardship projects within our 
supply chain.

Climate: New Goals, New Momentum
We’re pushing harder than ever to tackle climate change and build the resilience of our business and supply chain. In 
2019, we laid the groundwork for important new climate goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the 2018 
baseline developed for our newly merged company. This foundation included a corporate policy, governance structures 
and greater transparency, including reporting to CDP Climate. That report is publicly available here and includes 
additional detail on climate-related risks and opportunities.

DRIVING DOWN FLEET EMISSIONS
To ensure our beverages are delivered 
where and when our customers want 
them, we have more than 7,500 
vehicles in the U.S. and Mexico and 
over 300 in Canada. We continue 
to explore new ways to improve our 
fleet’s efficiency, while continuing to 
deliver what our customers need.
In 2019, we replaced older vehicles 
with more efficient ones. This is just 
the beginning of the potential for 
our fleet’s efficiency. We continue to 
reduce miles traveled by our fleet, 
starting with over 30,000 miles 
eliminated in 2019. 
In Mexico, we converted 90% of our 
car fleet to liquefied petroleum gas. 
This change in fuel type resulted 
in an estimated 23% reduction in 
greenhouse gases and 85% reduction 
in carbon monoxide for this fleet.
In 2019, we completed switching to 
electric forklifts in our Jacksonville, 
Florida, regional distribution center 
(RDC), following our 2018 conversion 
of our Dallas RDC. In total, in 2019, 
we procured 12 electric forklifts and 
will continue to evaluate adding more 
to our facilities. We also converted 
four propane scrubbers to electric 
scrubbers.

Responsible Supply Chain Management 
Over the past year, we rolled out the new KDP Supplier Code of Conduct to 
our suppliers and trained our procurement team on its requirements and their 
key role in implementing it throughout our supply chains. The Code sets out 
universal requirements applicable to suppliers from any part of the world and 
for any product supplied to KDP. 
The Supplier Code of Conduct is 
reviewed and approved annually 
by KDP’s Executive Policy Review 
Group (EPRG). This group ensures 
consistency across and integration 
of all KDP corporate policies and 
is made up of KDP’s Chief Legal 
Officer, Chief Human Resources 
Officer, Chief Supply Chain Officer, 
SVP Corporate Controller and 
Senior Corporate Counsel. 
For our most important supply 
chains, we go further by specifying 
product-specific standards such 
as independent raw material 
certifications and manufacturing 
standards. The intent behind this 
approach is to not only ensure a set 
of clear expectations applying to all 
KDP’s suppliers, but also recognize 
that the diversity of our supply 
chains demands more detailed 
and tailored standards. Last year 
we also developed a rigorous set 
of requirements for acceptance of 
product-specific standards across 
KDP’s supply chains. 
KDP’s Supplier Performance 
Management (SPM) program creates 
focused and impactful category 
strategies, manages and improves 
supplier performance and proactively 
assesses and mitigates supplier risk. 
The program scope includes Tier 1 and 
selected Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers. 
To administer the SPM program, 
cross-functional teams coordinate 
to ensure strategies are aligned and 
business requirements are met. Social 
and environmental considerations are 
an important part of this program 
and are integrated into the tools and 
processes used. Suppliers undergo 
performance reviews against our SPM 
scorecard, our tool that measures 
indicators such as quality, service 
and engagement, cost transparency, 
supply chain sustainability and 
innovation. This work ensures that 
KDP is playing a proactive role where 
its influence is strongest—with our 
direct suppliers.

Coffee
Keurig Dr Pepper is committed to finding holistic solutions to ensure the long-term 
success of coffee. As one of the largest global purchasers of coffee, we embrace both our 
ability and responsibility to support farmers throughout our supply chain in partnership 
with industry associations, governments and NGOs. 
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED COFFEE 
KDP has high standards for social 
and environmental practices at 
the farm level—which is where our 
product-specific standards come 
into play. To us, responsibly sourced 
coffee is coffee grown and sold in 
adherence to a credible, sustainable 
sourcing program that aligns with 
our KDP Supplier Code of Conduct. 
To date, these programs have 
included Fairtrade International, 
Fair Trade USA, Rainforest 
Alliance and Utz. We recognize the 
investments farmers have already 
made in committing to sustainable 
production via these programs, 
which is why we have chosen to 
partner with them. 
We’ve continued to work closely 
with our suppliers over the past 
year, and our efforts and impact 
around responsible coffee sourcing 
continue to grow.
Today, the majority of the coffee 
we purchase is responsibly sourced, 
and we pay a corresponding 
premium over the base commodity 
price. In fact, in 2019, for the tenth 
consecutive year, Keurig Dr Pepper 
was named the largest buyer of Fair 
Trade coffee in the world, through 
purchases for our own brands 
and our partner brands. These 
purchasing practices, coupled with 
our farmer support programs, help 
build sustainable supply chains for 
our business.

FARMER SUPPORT 
We have a deep-rooted commitment 
to engaging with our coffee supply 
chain on complex, long-term issues 
impacting farming families, such as 
low productivity, climate change, 
price volatility, food insecurity and 
lack of access to credit and farming 
materials. We’re on track to meet 
our 2020 goal of engaging one 
million people in our supply chain to 
significantly improve their lives. Since 
2014, we have positively impacted 
more than 783,000 people. 
Our social impact investment 
program has existed since 2003 and 
has invested more than $63 million 
toward improving the livelihoods of 
coffee farmers. In 2019, we managed 
a portfolio of 17 investment projects 
globally. 
No single company working alone 
can solve the complex challenges 
facing the global coffee sector. KDP 
has been recognized in the industry 
as a forward-thinking leader that 
drives for impact and collaboration, 
seeking out innovative partnerships 
to address the greatest challenges 
for coffee farmers and their 
communities—from climate change 
to income diversification. 
Our work with Blue Harvest has 
contributed to efforts that protect 
and restore water sources, improve 
coffee productivity with water-
smart practices, increase market 
access and strengthen local water 
resource management in Central 
America.
Our partnership with Root Capital, 
a nonprofit agricultural lender, 
supports financial training and 
critical advisory services to the 
organizations that small farmers rely 
on to market and sell their coffee to 
buyers like KDP.
As a co-founder of World Coffee 
Research (WCR), we have 
invested in agricultural research 
and development to make coffee 
farming more profitable and resilient 
to a changing climate. This work not 
only focuses on developing future 
coffee tree varietals, but also on 
ensuring they get into the hands of 
the farmers that need them.

When it comes to sourcing our Keurig brewers, we work closely with suppliers to meet our standards and ensure 
we can seamlessly and continuously deliver our products to customers and consumers. Our brewers are made of 
various materials and components from all over the world and are manufactured in China, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia 
and Thailand. We’ve expanded our manufacturing locations in the past few years to support innovation and ensure 
continuous supply as market conditions shift.
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED 
BREWERS
We are members of the Responsible 
Business Alliance (RBA), the world’s 
largest industry coalition focused 
on corporate social responsibility in 
global supply chains. RBA members 
commit to a common code of social, 
environmental and ethical industry 
standards. We assess suppliers 
against the RBA Code of Conduct 
using the RBA’s Validated Assessment 
Program (VAP), and we work closely 
with them to make improvements 
as needed. For more information 
on our methodology, please see the 
2018 Drink Well. Do Good. corporate 
responsibility report. 
At the end of 2019, we considered 
63% of our in-scope suppliers to be 
responsibly sourced and continued 
to make progress toward our goal 
of 100% of in-scope suppliers 
considered responsibly sourced by 
2020. As we look ahead to the end 
of this year, our journey does not 
end. Our dynamic brewer supply 
chain has evolved significantly in 
the past several years, with the 
addition of new suppliers to support 
product innovation and enable the 
accelerated geo-diversification of 
our supply base. We will continue 
to strive for responsibly sourced 
brewers, ensuring coverage of both 
new and existing suppliers over time.
We are also committed to the ethical 
sourcing of conflict minerals in our 
products and conduct annual due 
diligence in our supply chain, with the 
aspiration to source from conflict-free 
sources. These measures and results 
are available on our website and in 
our SEC filings.

As consumers hit the beverage aisle, 
they’re moving toward selecting low- 
or zero-calorie beverage choices. 
And we’re moving right along with 
them. In 2019, we expanded our

our lines and continued our work 
with industry partners 
to provide consumers 
choice and help them

QUENCHING A THIRST FOR 
HEALTHY BEVERAGES
Our portfolio is well balanced, with 
access to beverages with less sugar 
and smaller proportions. We currently 
have a wide range of beverage 
options, with around 75 ready-to-
drink beverages with zero calories. In 
fact, most of our full-calorie beverage 
varieties offer a zero-, low- or mid-
calorie option, and we continue to 
offer smaller portion sizes of our 
most popular drinks.
But we continue to do even more to 
provide our consumers with unique 
and refreshing beverages that 
support their personal wellness and 
nutritional goals.
In 2019, we expanded options within 
our CORE® Hydration line, including 
broadening varieties in our fruit-
infused CORE® Organics beverages, 
which have 10 calories or less, one 
or zero grams of sugar and added 
zinc for daily immunity support. We 
added more flavors to our popular 
enhanced water line, Bai®, which has 
antioxidants and just five calories, 
as well as introducing new Bai® 
lemonade with just one gram of 
sugar. And we added Adrenaline 
Shoc™ energy drink, which has zero 
sugar and calories and no artificial 
colors or chemical preservatives, to 
our partner portfolio.
We also introduced three new 
Mott’s 100% juice varieties with no 
sugar added and converted Mr. and 
Mrs. T® mixers to natural, non-GMO 
sugar cane instead of high fructose 
corn syrup.
Our research & development teams 
are continuously working to develop 
new product innovations with reduced 
sugar or sugar alternatives. This year, 
the team made exciting progress 
with introducing new zero-calorie 
and plant-based sweeteners into our 
portfolio of ingredients, providing 
more options to complement a 
balanced lifestyle with no compromise 
in flavor. 
PARTNERS FOR PROGRESS
Our health and wellness efforts 
are informed by the World Health 
Organization’s Global Action Plan 
for the Prevention and Control of 
Non-Communicable Diseases and 
demonstrate specific recommended 
actions around clear labeling, 
responsible marketing and reduction 
of added sugars.
We continue to be active partners 
with the American Beverage 
Association and the Alliance for a 
Healthier Generation on the Balance 
Calories Initiative (BCI). This voluntary 
effort is on track to meet a goal of 
reducing beverage calories consumed 
per person nationally by 20% by 2025. 
KDP efforts include overall product 
transparency with front-of-pack 
calorie labeling, as well as ingredient 
descriptions, calorie information and 
helpful comparisons to other offerings 
on our website. 
MORE THAN RESPONSIBLE 
MARKETING 
KDP is committed to advertising our 
products in a responsible and truthful 
manner. While we already had strict 
advertising standards, in 2019, we 
formally joined the Children’s Food 
and Beverage Advertising Initiative 
(CFBAI) and pledged to not advertise 
products to children under 12 unless 
they meet CFBAI’s nutrition criteria. 
Going a step further, in 2019, KDP did 
not advertise any products to children, 
regardless of their nutrition profile.

KDP’s Let’s Play initiative continued 
to positively impact children and 
families across North America. In 
2019, we built 12 playgrounds and 
offered 61 playground construction 
grants in partnership with national 
nonprofit KABOOM! Together 
with Keep America Beautiful, 10 
of those playgrounds incorporated 
recycling bins and recycling-themed 
imagery, which was a new aspect 
of our program. The aim is to build 
awareness among children about 
the importance of taking care of the 
environment.
In partnership with Good Sports, 
a national nonprofit, we awarded 
more than $1.3 million worth of 
brand-new sports equipment 
to 242 deserving youth-serving 
organizations in 2019. From 
discretionary youth sports grants to 
fun field day events, we positively 
impacted the lives of more than 1.1 
million kids during the year. 
For the third year in a row, 
high schools across the nation 
participated in the Let’s Play

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Engagement is bringing your whole 
heart and mind to work. It’s the 
individual commitment each of 
us has to the organization. We 
take every opportunity to gather 
employee feedback and, even more 
importantly, use that feedback 
to make our workplace better. 
We utilize regular touchpoints of 
communication to ensure employees’ 
needs and opinions are being heard. 
After joining two great companies 
to form Keurig Dr Pepper in July 
2018, we conducted our first 
employee engagement survey as a 
combined company in early 2019, 
inviting all employees to share 
their feedback on a wide array of 
elements related to culture and work 
environment. We had 65% of our 
employees respond to the survey, 
which provided a starting point for 
turning information into action. 
Overall, the data defined 60% of 
our employees as engaged. In our 
second survey, conducted early in 
2020, we increased our participation 
to 85%, and our overall engagement 
increased slightly to 62%. Our 
external survey partner benchmarks 
the national average engagement 
at 65%. We are proud of the 
resilience, capabilities and passion 
that our employees have shown in 
our first two years as a company, 
and we continue to strive to improve 
engagement through their feedback. 
The survey data is a basis for our 
leaders and managers to have open, 
honest conversations with their 
teams about results and to work 
together to take action to build 
an even better work environment. 
This connection not only boosts 
engagement—it brings forward new 
thoughts and ideas that make KDP 
a better company. Everyone’s voice 
matters.
CRAFTING EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN 
CORE VALUES
In 2019, we invited all KDP employees 
to participate in creating our KDP 
core values to ensure those values 
reflect both who we are as KDP and 
who we aspire to be.
Through surveys, focus groups 
and discussions, team members 
shared what attributes are most 
meaningful to them. From their 
direct feedback and words, we 
created our new values, which 
we’ve brought to life in our facilities, 
processes, recognition programs and 
communications.

Our values define how we work 
together and are the cornerstone 
of our culture. They are a unifying 
force for our team and will guide our 
actions, each and every day.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
At KDP, we’re dedicated to building 
and fostering a diverse team and 
an inclusive workplace. We believe 
that every team member has an 
important role to play and an 
important voice to share. We know 
that when all of these voices 
are welcomed and heard, we 
are able to achieve better 
outcomes. Consistent with 
our newly created values, 
we assume good intent 
always and aim to tackle 
issues, share opinions, 
listen and disagree in 
a respectful, fair and 
fearless way. 
In 2019, we focused on 
building the foundation 
of our culture as a 
newly formed KDP to 
help us move toward our 
vision for a more diverse 
and inclusive workplace. 
We benchmarked our 
workforce demographics 
and our employee-focused

including demonstrating leadership 
commitment, fostering connection 
and community, enhancing 
talent acquisition processes and 
augmenting talent development 
programs.
In 2020, we are taking several 
specific steps and making 
organizational commitments 
to amplify support for diversity 
and inclusion. These include the 
formation of a Diversity & Inclusion 
Leadership Team comprised of 
committed leaders from across 
KDP to help set priorities and lead 
two-way dialogue throughout the 
organization, launching Employee 
Resource Groups, and incorporating 
professional external advice 
and a broad range of employee 
perspectives every step of the way.
LIVE WELL AT KDP
KDP offers benefits and resources to 
support the wellbeing of our teams—
including health and wellness, 
financial saving, family benefits, 
education and more. In 2019, we 
launched the KDP Wellness program, 
which educates employees about 
the importance of preventive care 
and encourage them to be proactive 
about their health. The program 
is fueled by a third-party wellness 
vendor, and employees can log on 
to the website or app any time of 
day and engage in activities and 
challenges focused on all aspects of 
living well—from physical and mental 
health to supporting the health of 
our planet.

“Working in marketing, we 
often talk about the quality of our 
coffee, but this trip absolutely gave 
that word a new meaning. Watching our 
local coffee partners manually sort coffee, 
bean-by-bean to check for quality defects was 
incredibly eye-opening.”
— Susie Siegel
Brand Manager, 
Coffee Portfolio, KDP 
(Brazil targeted learning  
source trip participant)
Since we launched the program, 
almost 50% of our 21,000+ eligible 
U.S. KDP employees logged on to the 
app, and more than 2,600 employees 
earned prizes by participating in 
activities and challenges. One of the 
most popular team challenges, the 
Team Step Challenge, encouraged 
teams to take more steps while 
exercising and by switching up their 
everyday routines. Our Wellness 
program also sponsors KDP’s annual 
health screening process so that 
employees can get a health check, 
which reduces their monthly health 
insurance premiums, and take 
steps toward living healthier lives. 
In response to COVID-19, we’ve also 
provided employees with expanded 
back-up care benefits and a variety 
of resources through our Employee 
Assistance Program. 
TRAVELING TO ORIGIN: EMPLOYEE 
SOURCE TRIPS
Each year, we give employees from 
across the company the opportunity 
to connect firsthand with the people 
and places where our coffee is 
grown. They have the opportunity 
to meet the farmers and families 
who grow our coffee, understand 
what they do, and see the impact 
of our work and relationships at the 
source of our coffee products. This is 
truly an experience of a lifetime for 
participants in the program. In 2019, 
70 employees traveled on six trips 
to our top coffee sourcing origins—
Colombia and Brazil.

Employee Health & Safety
KDP uses a wide variety of strategies and programs to support the health and safety of our employees. From training on 
risks from non-routine tasks, such as unexpected maintenance on equipment, to installing automated systems to prevent 
trailers from shifting during loading and unloading, our Environmental Health & Safety team looks at all aspects of what our 
employees may encounter and works to minimize risk. 
Key to these efforts are data and 
preventive actions. KDP measures 
Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR), a 
true indication of Total Recordable 
Injuries Rate (TRIR) severity, and 
uses a risk reduction process that 
thoroughly analyzes injuries and 
near misses. With this information 
at hand, sites are supplied targeted 
areas to evaluate for such issues as 
trips, slips and falls and provided 
action plans to implement. This 
method has produced risk reduction 
rates as much as 60% across a 
variety of our sites.
Our TRIR remained flat through 
2019. Our LTIR increased in 2019, 
partly due to the addition of three 
new logistics sites not counted in 
2018. We are well below benchmark 
rates for soft drink and coffee 
manufacturing, as reported by the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics. We 
remain committed to improving our 
safety performance every year and, 
as a result, have seen improvements 
of our LTIR and TRIR throughout the 
first half of 2020.
In response to the COVID-19 
pandemic, we’ve implemented 
extraordinary safety procedures 
to keep our employees safe and 
healthy. These procedures include 
temperature checks and health 
screenings, extensive sanitization 
practices, required face coverings 
and mandated social distancing 
protocols. Additionally, employees 
across our organization have 
continued to develop creative ways 
to protect our team. For example, 
our supply chain and R&D teams 
created in-house capability to 
self-manufacture hand sanitizer; 
a fleet manager in Los Angeles 
built a barrier prototype to aid 
in protecting workers during 
temperature checks; and, our 
manufacturing team in Sumner, 
Washington, transformed one 
break room into three and outfitted 
several conference and training 
rooms to give employees enough 
room to take a break safely. Through 
a constant drive to zero incidents, 
training, teamwork and enhanced 
safety measures, we are dedicated 
to reducing risk and improving 
operations to create the safest 
environment possible for our team.

Governance & Compliance
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Guided by our values, ethics and 
integrity, our governance and 
management systems ensure 
that we operate our business and 
conduct ourselves with the highest 
level of accountability. As a publicly 
traded company, the KDP Board of 
Directors oversees KDP’s corporate 
responsibility (CR) strategy 
and progress, receives regular 
updates and approves long-term 
sustainability goals. 
Development of vision and strategy 
is led by our Chief Corporate Affairs 
Officer, our Chief Sustainability 
Officer and our Vice President, 
Corporate Communications, 
Philanthropy & Community 
Relations, as well as members of 
the broader organization. They 
regularly collaborate with a cross-
functional team of employees across 
the organization, including from 
such areas as procurement, supply 
chain, research and development, 
quality, facilities, human resources 
and legal, to drive execution and 
measurement of CR strategy. The 
Chief Sustainability Officer convenes 
the Sustainability Governance 
Committee, comprised of key 
functional executive leadership team 
members, which monitors progress 
and ensures our projects and key 
initiatives align with the long-term 
objectives of the business. 
See our website for our Governance 
Guidelines and related materials.
ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE
Anchoring our ethics and compliance 
program is the KDP Code of Conduct 
which can be found on our website 
along with our Respectful Workplace 
and Anti-Harassment Policies, 
Supplier Code of Conduct, Conflict 
Minerals Reports, Modern Slavery 
Statements and Environmental 
Policies. 
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT 
We support our commitments to 
responsible business practices across 
our portfolio through engagement 
in both the political process and 
public policy development. More 
information on our political 
contribution and engagement 
policies can be found on our 
website. Additional information on 
our approach can be found in our 
stakeholder engagement document 
here.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals were developed to 
address the global challenges facing our current world and represent 
the transformative power of collective action. KDP has aligned with 
several of these important initiatives as we work toward achieving our 
own goals.
