Operations
Reducing the environmental impact of our operations means engaging our entire organization in making changes big and small throughout our manufacturing, distribution, and office facilities.
And to provide the focus and motivation to do so, we have set new footprint reduction goals. For each case of product sold, we will reduce GHG emissions, energy use, and water use by 10 percent, and solid waste by 20 percent, all by 2013.
Meeting Our Goals
We’re pleased to report that we’re making progress against our 2013 goals. We’re currently halfway through our 2007–2013 goal period and we’ve already met our GHG emissions and water reduction goals, and we’re well on our way to meeting and even exceeding our energy and solid waste reduction goals.
The Performance to Date and Goal numbers shown above are intensity based (reductions achieved per cases sold).
We are also making excellent progress against our goals from an absolute footprint reduction perspective. Our absolute footprint reduction in GHG, Energy, Water and Waste are as follows (using 2007 data as our baseline data):
