Campbell recognized for comprehensive
approach to sustainability
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) has been named to the
Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World list by
Corporate Knights, a media, research and financial products company
for the third year in a row. Campbell is one of 20 U.S. companies,
and one of two U.S. food companies, included in the Global 100. The
Global 100 drew companies from 22 countries on five continents and
inclusion in the top 100 puts Campbell in the top 2.2 percent of
the 4,609 companies evaluated.
“Campbell’s corporate responsibility and sustainability
strategies are integrated into every aspect of our business and
culture,” said Dave Stangis, Campbell’s Vice President, Public
Affairs and Corporate Responsibility. “Having our performance and
disclosure recognized by the Global 100 for a third consecutive
year is evidence that Campbell employees continue to make progress
in our commitment to being good stewards, as well as advancing our
performance.”
Corporate Knights ranks the Global 100 against twelve
quantitative key performance indicators that run the gamut from
energy and water use, to employee compensation and corporate tax
strategy as well as sector-specific key performance indicators
related to efficient use of energy and water, waste metrics and
workplace safety.
Over the past four years, Campbell’s capital investments in
energy and water conservation have yielded a cumulative savings of
more than $60 million. Additional environmental stewardship
achievements include:
- Saving more than 1 billion gallons of
water annually since 2009, a cumulative savings of more than 5
billion gallons;
- Saving approximately 1 million fewer
mmbtus of energy each year, a cumulative savings of more than
410,000 metric tonnes of CO2;
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by
13.3 percent per tonne of food produced over four years;
- Initiating projects to extend renewable
energy use from a few kilowatts to more than 12 megawatts; and
- Saving more than 4.2 million pounds of
packaging through lightweighting and package redesign in fiscal
2013.
Campbell's Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
strategies are designed to deliver measurable impacts in four key
areas: Our Consumers, Our Planet, Our Employees and Our Community.
