Once again in 2015, Ingredion awarded our prestigious
CEO Award in Safety Excellence to a country thatexemplifies our value of safety in its operations andprograms. Our team in Brazil took the award for theirexemplary work, surpassing more than 13 million manhours without a lost time accident at all seven facilities.
We are also pleased to report that our EMEA region at
year-end has completed 34 months without an injury.

we identified a slight increase in the number of injuries
occurring in the summer months, and launched anawareness campaign in 2015 to reduce those accidents.
In October, Ingredion held a global Environmental,

GOALS
We are on track to meet our 2020
water intensity reduction goal
through the implementation of
a number of new projects andendeavors across our operation.
We executed more than 100 water
reduction projects globally in 2015that sought new ways to reduce
wash water, recover equipment
rinses and find innovative new
equipment to increase water
efficiency. One of many suchprojects was launched at oneof our largest global facilities,
where additional equipment was
installed to allow for further
water recycling in select processes,
saving the plant 525 million
gallons of water a year.

An increasing loss of biodiversity on the planet isof growing concern to Ingredion and many of our
stakeholders. In 2015, Ingredion began assessing
our operation locations with regard to Conservation
International’s list of global biodiversity hotspots. We
have identified those hotspots in the geographies where
we operate and are working on actions that will have apositive impact on biodiversity conservation.
For example, employees from Ingredion Mexico’s plantin Guadalajara, a location deemed to be within oneof these environmental hotspots, planted a “spring
forest” in an area impacted by historic deforestation.
The facility also implemented an adopt-a-tree program,
giving young trees to employees to plant wherever
they saw a need, together with a responsibility to carefor the tree until maturation. Our Mexico plants in
San Juan del Rio and Tlalnepantla also engaged in treeplanting activities with nearly 700 trees planted andnearly 30 hectares of forest put under the custody andmaintenance of Ingredion. Similarly, in Colombia we
worked with our transportation suppliers, planting trees
to help restore local habitats as well as offset vehicle
carbon emissions.
Again in 2015, Ingredion
facilities around the globe
helped raise awareness of ourenvironmental conservation
efforts by conducting
activities in conjunction withWorld Water Day and EarthDay. Some highlights fromthese activities include:• In Lane Cove, Australia, our conservation efforts have
reduced water consumption by more than 20 percent
per ton of starch produced.
• Employees at our plants in Pakistan attended water
conservation awareness programs, educated school
children on the importance of water conservationand conducted surveys to help prevent water waste.

• Employees in our Korea operations worked to clean
up a local spring and a nearby river as part of theirbroader sustainability programs.
• In Lima, Peru, our employees cleaned up the banks of
the Rimac River, a source of water for the city.
• Employees at our Mapleton, Illinois, facility worked
with the Living Lands and Waters organization toremove approximately 600 pounds of trash along theIllinois River.
• In London, Ontario, we hosted a water conservation
poster contest at a local school to help raiseawareness within the community.
• In North Charleston, South Carolina, process
improvements allowed the plant to save more than
1.5 million liters of water annually.
In addition, Ingredion operations around the world
were recognized in 2015 for their commitment toenvironmental conservation:• Our Pakistan sites received the 2015 Annual
Environment Excellence Award, presented by
the National Forum for Environment and Health,
Pakistan’s leading non-government environmentalorganization.
• Our Ban Khao Din and Sikhiu plants in Thailand
received the Thailand Department of Industrial
Works 3R Award for their efforts in reducing, reusing
and recycling material from the sites.
• Our Kerr facility in Salem, Oregon, received theEarthWISE 2015 Business of the Year award for
its recycling and environment programs. Amongthe many notable efforts that contributed to theachievement of this award were programs that
reduced cleaning water by 550,000 gallons per year
and a program for closed-loop flush water to coolmechanical seals that conserved 330,000 gallons
of water per year.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The goal of our sustainable sourcing program is twofold: to increase
efficiencies and mitigate risks in our own supply chain, and to help
our customers reach their sustainable sourcing objectives. Our global
programs are then benchmarked against the Sustainable Agriculture
Initiative (SAI) Platform's Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA).
Our supply chain is managed through close working relationships with
our growers and non-agricultural suppliers and through the utilizationof locally recognized programs, such as Field to Market, a U.S.-basedsustainable agriculture program Ingredion joined in 2015. The Field toMarket program allows farmers to enter crop production data directlyfrom their fields and then access comparisons with other local farmers.
By examining aspects of production submitted by other farms, such as
fertilizer and water usage, farmers are able to identify and implement
best practices to increase efficiencies and reduce environmental impact.

InFocus
In 2015, Ingredion joined Field toMarket to help enhance our existing
grower engagements and to betteralign with the needs of our customers.

increase efficiencies in their production of cassava root.
The program is an example of the active role Ingredion
plays in strengthening thecompetitiveness of tapioca

A pilot study between Ingredion
Thailand and local farmers
will help Ingredion develop
a sustainable agriculture
assessment strategy as partof our ongoing work withlocal growers.

In Pakistan we continued ourongoing support of farmers to enhance their livelihoods
while giving consideration to the environment. Pakistan
is one of the world's least productive countries for
agriculture per unit of land utilized and per unit ofwater consumed. It is estimated that as much as 40
percent of water may be lost due to inefficient irrigation
systems. This is why Ingredion’s local team developed
an underground water supply system to replace
open-channel irrigation. This system was piloted with
farmers, where it improved irrigation efficiency by
36 percent. The project cost was nearly paid back fromthe savings on one crop, and freed up water resources
for a 20 percent increase in crops planted. Because of
the initial success of this project, two additional pilot
studies were started in 2015.
Additionally, Ingredion Pakistan conducted yield
performance trials in Qila Saifullah, where the waterrequirements are almost half those in the traditional
growing regions of Punjab or Sindh due to thecooler climate.
Ingredion’s team in Colombia won Ingredion’s CEO
Award for Sustainability Excellence in 2015 for theirwork with cassava growers. Ingredion’s agricultural
team worked with the government of Colombia todevelop a stronger cooperative model for cassava
producers. The project, which involved the educationof 130 growers in the region, resulted in the creationof two cassava cooperatives that allow farmers tostrengthen their supply business within a sustainableeconomic framework. This project resulted in theincrease of the farmers' average income from $95
per month to $275 per month and helped strengthen
Ingredion’s local supply chain.
To promote the Field to Market program in the UnitedStates and to inform farmers of the program benefits,
Ingredion held grower meetings. We also assisted
in collecting field data from some of our suppliers
to further data collection for the online Fieldprint
Calculator and help meet the sustainable sourcing
expectations of key customers.
