Stakeholder engagement – A Kellogg’s case study

Introduction to Organisation:

The Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereals. For more than 100 years, Kellogg’s has been a leader in health and nutrition through providing consumers with a wide variety of food products. Kellogg’s market leading position and reputation is built on its commitment to ethical business practices and its values-based culture. Business values identify the beliefs that the company holds to be the most important. These values then guide decision making and shape the way the organisation behaves. For Kellogg’s, these are referred to as K-Values. Kellogg’s K-Values guide the way the company interacts with all of its stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals, groups and organisations that have an interest in the decisions a company makes and the products that it produces. They also, depending on their power, affect how businesses perform. Kellogg’s products are manufactured in 18 countries and are sold in more than 180 countries. This means Kellogg’s has to manage its relationships with a variety of stakeholders around the world. The diagram identifies Kellogg’s key stakeholder groups.

Kellogg’s long-term business plans, known as strategies, focus on engaging with its stakeholders to ensure their needs are being met. For Kellogg’s, this means ensuring the highest ethical standards and sustainable business practices. Kellogg’s has a Global Code of Ethics governing how it deals with

stakeholders across the world. A sustainable business is one which focuses on minimising any negative impact to the environment to ensure future generations can prosper. Kellogg’s vision and core purpose outline what the company wants to achieve. They guide the organisation’s decision-making processes to help meet the expectations of its stakeholders. Kellogg’s vision, which was refreshed in 2012, sets out the company’s main aim which is ‘To enrich and delight the world through foods and brands that matter.’

Kellogg’s Global Employer Brand:

Kellogg’s invests heavily in its employees and future employees. Kellogg’s global employer brand communicates the K-Values and the wide range of benefits that Kellogg’s employees receive. Kellogg’s refreshed company vision and purpose were a direct result of feedback from employees. A company’s vision and values must be ‘lived’ by its employees for them to incorporate them into their decisions and actions. Kellogg’s seeks to manage its employer brand in the same way that it manages its product brands. Just as the company uses market research to identify what its consumers want, it uses employee research to find out the needs and opinions of its employees through, for example, an employee survey. The 2012 survey involved 20,000 employees across the globe (with a 75% response rate). This information was used to improve processes to engage employees. For example, employees requested to be able to communicate more openly so Kellogg’s created a feedback training programme for all employees.

Conclusion

Kellogg’s business strategy is stakeholder-focused. The company’s decisions and actions are all made with the best interest of its stakeholders at the heart. Engaging with both internal and external stakeholders creates two-way communication that brings benefits to both Kellogg’s and to each stakeholder group. Although Kellogg’s engagement initiatives have huge cost implications for the company, they yield huge benefits to the communities and stakeholders as well as to Kellogg’s in order to demonstrate that it’s a responsible business.

Kellogg’s uses its size as a force for good. Its stakeholder engagement focuses on supporting its CSR activity, such as its breakfast clubs and support for food banks around the world. These initiatives support the company’s vision and, through living the K-Values, enable its employees to continue to improve the lives of its global stakeholders.

Your answer should not include the example given below:1) Kellogg’s key internal stakeholders include employees at all levels, all over the world, and shareholders. Both groups are integral to the success of the organisation. Employees carry out the day-to-day activities which enable the company to operate globally. Shareholders invest the capital that makes this possible. Kellogg’s seeks to make a profit to secure high returns for its shareholders. Shareholders invest money into the business in return for a stake in the company. If the company makes a profit, its shareholders receive a share of these profits in the form of dividends. At the same time shareholders take a keen interest in the company’s strategies and seek to influence decision making to safeguard their investment.2) Kellogg’s key external stakeholders include community Kellogg’s uses a variety of communications approaches to engage with its different external stakeholders. For example, regular case studies in The Times 100 help the company to engage with young people through educational materials that help to explain the values and goals of the organisation. Kellogg’s engages with communities through its breakfast clubs. Independent research shows that children who have breakfast at the start of the day are able to concentrate for longer by maintaining their energy at school. Kellogg’s therefore supports, through donations of cereals and money, breakfast clubs in schools across the nation to make sure that all children have a healthy and nutritious breakfast.Explain/define internal and external stakeholders of the company:Discuss key initiatives that can be taken to influence all type of internal and external stakeholders that you have identified:TASK 6: Identify stakeholder conflict and suggest possible resolution (12 Marks)An important part of managing the needs of stakeholders is to understand that different stakeholder groups can sometimes have conflicting interests. Use your workplace scenario or case scenario and identify potential conflicts as well as provide mitigation plan for those conflicts.Examples of conflicting stakeholder needs are given for better understanding of the question and how it can be answered. Your answer should not include the example provided to you:1) Government requirements for food content and consumer preferences. Kellogg’s recently changed the formula of Honey Loops to reduce the sugar content, but this had an impact on consumer’s perceptions of the brand.2) Different interests of charity groups requesting Kellogg’s support. Kellogg’s current CSR strategy focuses on breakfast clubs for children, so conflict will occur when charities supporting other causes cannot be a focus for Kellogg’s at this time.SOURCES AND REFERENCES USED (2 Marks)1.APPENDIX (1 Mark)Include any attachments, facts, figures, pictures, diagrams, brochures, web screenshots, etc that you have discussed in your plan and may relate to explain the e-marketing plan more clearly.Stakeholder Engagement, Assessment No.1 v1.0 Last updated on 11/06/2019 Page 1
