Environment
In 2020, we successfully implemented projects that reduced water use by 119 million gallons.
To minimize our environmental impact, we set goals to reduce our nonrenewable energy use, water use, solid waste sent to landfills and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 10 percent by 2020 at our domestic manufacturing facilities. These goals were established on a target to implement projects that provide absolute reductions equaling 10 percent of our base-year level (2011). We invest in our facilities and establish specific metrics to improve the efficiency of our operations to help meet these environmental goals across the company.
In addition to these goals, we aimed to reduce our product packaging by 25 million pounds by 2020. Our packaging team regularly evaluates our packaging designs, consistently looking for minimization opportunities.
