McCormick is proud to be a founding partner of the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition and to receive this prestigious recognition for our support in the industry’s journey to Net Zero.   The Supplier LoCT is a cross-industry collaborative working to reduce Scope 3 emissions – those coming from a company’s suppliers. Supplier LoCT partner companies sponsor the enrollment of their suppliers in an online climate academy, which leads them in a series of seminars on greenhouse gas tracking, science-based target setting, abatement, disclosure, and renewables with the goal of reducing Scope 3 emissions.   We are honored to receive this prestigious recognition from The Climate Registry for our work with Supplier LoCT! 

Many beloved foods and drinks are undergoing fiery transformations, surprising consumers with an unexpected heat. Pickles, one of America's favorite crispy, crunchy, and salty snacks, is one of the unique foods that McCormick has paired with hot sauce and other spicy flavors for a delightful combination. Research shows that consumers continue to look for pickle-flavored products, and 44% of Gen Z consumers think the crazier and more unique new foods are, the better. To meet the demand for new flavor innovations around hot sauce and other beloved favorites, like pickle, McCormick has launched three new products and partnerships over the last year: Frank's RedHot Dill Pickle, French's Creamy Dill Mustard, and Vlasic Frank's RedHot Flavored Kosher Dill Spears. We think these products are a pretty big dill…but we want your opinion! Have you tried any of our pickle-flavored products? Tell us your favorite in the comments!

Last night, McCormick awarded a total of $105,000 in scholarships to deserving student-athletes in the Baltimore area during the 84th annual Unsung Heroes Awards, which recognizes unselfish student-athletes and honors those who substantially contribute to the success of their school without receiving acclaim. Two students, Alivia White from Patapsco High School and Akintomiwa David Are from Owings Mills High School, were recipients of the Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship, worth $40,000 over four academic years. Jadah Reid from Western High School and Bernard Bolden IV from Lansdowne High School were awarded $7,500 scholarships, while Brooke Frederick from Mount de Sales Academy and Maurice Ghee from Loyola Blakefield High School both received $5,000 scholarships.

This #MothersDay, McCormick and our Women's International Network (WIN) Employee Ambassador Group are excited to celebrate the remarkable mothers who effortlessly blend their rewarding roles as caretakers and professionals. To kick off the Mother's Day celebration, we asked employees to answer one of two questions: 1. What lessons have you learned from parenting that you've found applicable or beneficial in navigating challenges or leading teams at work? 2. Can you share examples of skills or wisdom passed down by your mom that you've found particularly valuable in your career?
