Making efficient use of natural resources.
The global food system, including agriculture, production, packaging and distribution, contributes to nearly one third of greenhouse gas emissions. As a leader in the potato processing industry, we believe it is our responsibility to reduce and be efficient in our use of energy, water, waste and packaging.
As we continue on our sustainability journey, we will continue to find opportunities to innovate and drive positive change for our business, people and the planet.
