bring value to Ingredion, but also to
the communities in which we operate.”
To Our Customers, Shareholders,
Employees and Neighbors:
I am pleased to present Ingredion’s seventh annual Sustainability
Update. This report reflects our commitment to respecting ourpeople, the individuals with whom we do business, the communities in which we operate, and the planet we all share. It outlines
our sustainability vision and the goals we are pursuing, and thebelief that business has a vital role to play in creating a sustainable future. You will see that we have made significant progressagainst our 2020 goals, but we know that we must continue toestablish new milestones to continually drive progress. I recognizethat in my role as President and CEO, Ingredion’s commitment tosustainability starts with me. Simply stated, I believe sustainability
at its core is smart business.
It is important that we focus not only on the value thatsustainability provides to our business, but also to the sharedvalue it provides to our customers and society as a whole. To that
end, we are working to further align our efforts with the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs offer aframework through which we can further evaluate our efforts. This
helps us incorporate sustainability considerations in our planning
processes and directly link them to the overall business strategy.
In 2014, we launched our Company of Choice for a Sustainable
Tomorrow plan, which focuses on eight key areas related to ourbusiness where we can have the most profound long-term impact.
These focal areas were selected based on input from our various
stakeholders. Ongoing dialogue with these stakeholders helps us
gain perspective as we continue to challenge ourselves toward
increasing standards of excellence.
COMPANY OVERVIEWMESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
GOAL SUMMARY

I want to highlight a few of our achievements from 2017. The
safety and health of our employees is at the top of my priority list.
On a daily basis, we commit to provide our employees with a safe
and secure workplace as we strive to achieve zero injuries. We
have made tremendous strides since 2010, both in employee andcontractor injury rates, due to our acute focus and ongoing training.
Governance is at the heart of our business practices. For
the fifth consecutive year, Ingredion has been recognized by
Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. We arecommitted to operating with integrity and maintaining high ethicalstandards everywhere we do business. We recognize the rights ofall people to fair and decent work, clean water, and to be treatedwith dignity and respect. As a signatory to the Global Compact, weare committed to aligning our global operations with universally
recognized principles on human rights, labor, anti-corruption, andthe environment. This aligns nicely with our efforts to maintainworkplaces that are diverse and inclusive. We have been included
on the inaugural Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, and we area signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion. Both ofthese are important indicators of our progress in this area.
We continue to work with our suppliers to improve sustainability across our supply chain. This involves working with our
agricultural and non-agricultural suppliers to help drive improvement and deliver on the expectations of our various stakeholders.
Our stakeholders rightfully expect us to be transparent
about our progress against goals, as well as our business practices.
To that end, we continue to utilize recognized and respected

GOVERNANCE, INTEGRITY & TRUSTSAFETY & HEALTH
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONOPERATIONAL EXCELLENCESUSTAINABLE SOURCING

tools such as Sedex, CDP, and EcoVadis to align with recognizedglobal standards.
It is important that our efforts not only bring value to Ingredion,but also to the communities in which we operate. Promoting
prosperity in our communities is inherent in our business culture.
We continue to focus on our themes of health and education. We
do this with continued engagement through organizations like The
Global FoodBanking Network, with which we are in our sixth yearof collaboration.
This report highlights some of the 2017 activities in our muchbroader sustainability journey. I am proud of the measurable
progress we have made as a company such as early achievementof our carbon emission reduction and sustainable sourcing targets.
It is critical to our success that we operate sustainably as we strive
to be the Company of Choice for a Sustainable Tomorrow for our
employees, customers, neighbors, and investors.

Ingredion’s growth and innovation depend on a culture that values
and champions diversity and inclusion. Fostering a culture ofdiversity and inclusion is a strategic priority for the company. To
this end, Ingredion has piloted two programs in the United States– ABLE and WIN – designed to enhance its efforts.

The mission of ABLE is to recruit,advance and retain black employees
through dialogue, development,
support and active engagement.

The mission of WIN is tohelp Ingredion women realize
their full potential.

As we continue to engage with stakeholders, our thoughts on what elements of the GRI are relevant
continues to evolve. As such, we believe this effort is ongoing and will continue to improve alongwith our sustainability program.

INGREDION SUSTAINABILITY COUNCIL
In 2011, Ingredion formed a Sustainability Council comprised of senior leaders within the organization
whose mission is to drive and integrate the sustainability strategy throughout the organization. There are
12 Council members with three from the Executive Leadership Team representing Operating Excellence,
Legal and Human Resources. Additionally, there are three regional members representing Asia Pacific,
EMEA and North America. The council reports to the Executive Leadership Team, as well as to the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. Oversight of Ingredion’ssustainability and social responsibility programs is a charter responsibility for that Board Committee.

MID-YEAR SAFETY CAMPAIGN

In 2017, we achieved a 59% reduction in total recordable contractor injuries.
This achievement can be credited to focused efforts over many years toenhance contractor selection, improve site induction processes, and improvetask risk assessment processes in the plants. In North America, further
rollout and enhancement of our on-line contractor management system
contributed to improved performance. We conducted more than 20,000
toolbox talks with contractors to help improve safety.

This year, our Mid-Year Safety Campaign focusedon the theme “Safety is for Your Life.” The anchor
for the campaign was a multi-language video
message from Ron McCrimmond, Vice President
Environment, Health, Safety and Security focusedon the far-reaching impact of safety incidents.
Additionally, weekly communications were
distributed throughout the company to further
conversations around safety.

SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY

INGREDION INCORPORATED 2017 SUSTAINABILITY UPDATEWORKING WITH KEY SUPPLIERS
In 2016, we began working with our key suppliers to register them in
Sedex and then conduct certified social accountability audits to validate
their business practices. We have been successful with the registration
process, and focused most of our efforts in 2017 on the auditing side. We
held webinars with suppliers that had questions or were seeking additional
assistance. While we have made good progress in this area, more workneeds to be done to reach our target.

SUPPLIER OF CHOICE:
In 2017, employees in our plants in Thailand underwent
cross-training on various positions. This ensured there wasbackup for critical positions, thereby minimizing emergency
overtime hours. By doing so, the plants met voluntary
external standards and the expectations of customers.

OUR SUPPLIER EXPECTATIONS
We encourage our suppliers to share our ethical business practices as stated in our Supplier Code of Conduct. This document
outlines a commitment to sustainability and protecting thefundamental rights of all people.

SMETA AUDITS
During the year, Ingredion completed
the Sedex Member Ethical Trade Audits(SMETA) of our manufacturing facilities.
SMETA uses the Ethical Trading Initiative(ETI) Base Code and the conventions of
the International Labour Organization tocover Labor Standards, Health and Safety, Environment andBusiness Ethics. Our audits also incorporated specific ethicalsourcing requirements from some of our multi-nationalcustomers. For many of our facilities, these audits were
follow-ups to those conducted in 2014. New facility locations
will be added to future audit schedules.

In 2017, a number of factors influenced our performance.
Following Bureau Veritas (auditing entity) guidance on recognized carbon footprint protocols, we updated electrical gridfactors used to determine carbon emissions. This resulted in aslightly favorable impact. Increases in water use were primarily
attributable to one of our larger facilities using reverse osmosis
to treat incoming water, causing a larger stream of rejectedwater, thereby increasing water throughput. We continue tolook for avenues to counteract this increase.

to elevate our sustainability commitments. We focused on using lesswater, energy and labor in the production of our products. Additionally,
our disciplined efforts to enhance food safety and efficiency enabled us
to produce products while streamlining delivery times and helping tominimize price inflation. Continuous improvement and its contribution
to sustainability will remain a focus for all employees.

INGREDION INCORPORATED 2017 SUSTAINABILITY UPDATEUSE OF GMO AND NON-GMO CROPSDATA VALIDATION

We support the use of approved biotechnology, while recognizing
consumer preference with respect to genetically modified organisms(GMOs). We provide both GMO and non-GMO product offerings to
supply ingredients that our customers and their consumers desire. In
geographies where the majority of supply comes from GMO crops,
such as corn farming in the United States, we have dedicated growers
and manufacturing operations to meet non-GMO demand. We also
have other product offerings to meet customer demand, such as
certified organic crops.

To better assess our tracking processes and provide the most accurate
data possible to our stakeholders, we contracted with Bureau Veritas
to conduct a validation review of our sustainable sourcing data forvolumes covered globally in 2017.

MINIMIZING FOOD WASTE
Ingredion takes great measures to minimize the waste of potential
food products. For example, when we mill corn to isolate the starchfor production of our primary products, we are also able to generate
additional co-product streams. This may include separation of the germfor use in vegetable oil or animal feed, separation of the fiber for animal
feed, or even reclaiming the protein-rich water used to steep (soften)
the corn for animal feed. For the residual material that may be left overafter product and co-product generation, Ingredion has found beneficial
outlets including composting and land application for farming.

NEIGHBOR OF CHOICE:
In the United States, agricultural personnel worked with an externalvendor to enhance the online software used to collect grower dataaround traceability. In the course of developing and implementing the
new software, it was decided to also incorporate data-collection needs
for Field to Market’s Fieldprint Calculator, as well as the SAI platform’s
FSA. Implementing the program further streamlined sustainablesourcing data-collection efforts with United States growers, and will
enable us to accelerate our sustainable sourcing efforts going forward.
