82 Sustainable Development projects reduce water, waste, energy and costs
ConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYSE: CAG) announced the winners of its 2015 Sustainable Development Awards yesterday, an internal awards program that drives and rewards imaginative approaches to sustainability and produces bottom line business results. The 82 entries received this year collectively:
Delivering more than $70 million in savings, these projects exhibit the economic value of a company’s commitment to sustainable development. This year’s applications amounted to the largest single year savings the company has seen to date. Many of these applications were driven by the imagination and engagement of employees. The awards program recognizes that employees can make a big impact by coming together to do what’s right for both the environment and the business.
ConAgra Foods started the Sustainable Development Awards program in 1992 to encourage and reward employees to find ways to eliminate waste, save water and reduce energy through process innovation and engagement. Winning teams are each awarded a $5,000 grant from the ConAgra Foods Foundation to apply toward a sustainability-focused community service project in their area.
“It's exciting because ConAgra Foods' program continues to evolve year over year. We're driving engagement across all levels of employees at multiple locations, while challenging teams to collaborate in new ways” said Gail Tavill, vice president of Packaging and Sustainable Productivity at ConAgra Foods. “One example is our focus on reducing the amount of waste generated across our operations. Getting the most out of natural resources while continuing to look for new ways to operate more sustainably is a team effort that can have a positive impact on the environment and our bottom line.”
