Kraft Heinz Plans to Sustainably Source 100% of Heinz Ketchup Tomatoes by 2025

By Michael Dabaie

Kraft Heinz Co. said it plans to sustainably source 100% of Heinz Ketchup tomatoes by 2025 globally, in accordance with the company's sustainable agriculture practices.

Kraft Heinz said it has taken steps to strengthen its supply chain by evolving those practices and working with growers to implement them. The company said, as an example, that tomato growers implemented new soil health procedures, ultimately yielding an improved 70 tons of tomatoes per acre annually.

The company said Wednesday that it released its Environmental Social Governance Report.

Kraft said that as the company assesses the greenhouse gas emissions of its entire supply chain to set reduction targets, it has committed to a goal of purchasing a majority renewable electricity across all Kraft Heinz facilities by 2025.
