This June, we’re proud to celebrate the importance of building workplaces and communities where everyone is welcomed, celebrated and encouraged to bring their most authentic selves to the table.

We believe diverse voices and inclusive environments strengthen our teams, deepen collaboration and help deliver better outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

This Pride Month, we’d also like to thank Spectrum, our LGBTQ+ employee resource group, for the important role it plays in promoting inclusion and belonging while creating a space where team members can feel heard, supported and embraced.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at team Ardent Mills.

Looking for proof that benefit stacking – the consumer mindset centered on getting more out of the foods we eat – has gone mainstream? Just look at how CPG and private label brands are evolving their packaging and positioning around nutritional benefits.

Consumers today aren’t simply shopping for food—they’re shopping for outcomes. From higher protein and fiber to trusted whole grains and gluten-free options, every bite is expected to deliver more.

At Ardent Mills, we help power products stacked with today’s most in-demand benefits like fiber, protein and whole grains—so brands can deliver more value for consumers and drive growth.

Click below to read more about how retailers and manufacturers are meeting consumers where they are when it comes to benefit stacking—and how brands can apply these insights to create their next winning product.

This Memorial Day, we honor the legacy of all fallen service members who gave their lives in service to our nation.

We thank them and their families for their sacrifice.

We also take this opportunity to recognize and thank the veterans on our team, including our Military Veterans at Ardent Mills (MVAM) employee resource group (ERG).

Dedicated to fostering collaboration among veterans, promoting volunteerism, mentoring across our locations and actively recruiting future team members with military experience, MVAM embodies our value of serving and strengthens our commitment to building an inclusive, purpose-driven culture grounded in meaningful connections and community.

May we honor the memory of those we’ve lost and reflect on the freedoms their service has made possible.

Every April, Month of Service brings our teams across North America together to live our value of Serving through meaningful action in our communities where we live and work.

This year, our teams made incredible impact:

• 4,444 volunteer hours contributed in April alone — putting us on pace to reach 12,500 hours by fiscal year-end
• 81% site participation across our network
• More than 550 volunteers engaged in approximately 300 volunteer activities
• 105 blood units donated by 75 team members

And the impact extends far beyond April. Throughout FY26, we’ve donated 228,373 pounds of Ardent Mills products and essential goods to support communities in need.

Behind every number are team members choosing to show up, give back and make a difference. From supporting local food banks and community organizations to donating blood, our people demonstrated the powerful impact we can create together.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, talents and passion throughout our Month of Service. Together, we’re building stronger communities and living our values in action.

We’re honored to share that Ardent Mills received the Global Pulse Confederation - GPC Pulses Sustainability Leadership Award at the Pulse 26 Conference last week.

With more than 1,000 delegates from 50 countries, the event highlighted the work happening across the value chain and the importance of strong partnerships as the industry continues working together to scale solutions that meet consumer expectations.

The discussion at this year’s conference reinforced the growing opportunity for pulses as consumers turn to foods that deliver enhanced nutrition, functional benefits and sustainability.

We’re proud of our role in bringing these trusted ingredients to consumers across North America, and we look forward to continuing to meet this moment alongside our customers, growers and partners.
