Kraft Heinz Renews Global Commitments in 2020 Environmental Social Governance Report


In support of its commitment to sustainable practices, The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC) has released its second-ever Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report. It reveals that through integrated initiatives, Kraft Heinz is taking a cross-functional approach centered around continuous improvement across the organization, from responsible ingredient sourcing to expanded nutrition guidelines. ESG is integrated into every part of the business, guided by the company's redefined Values and fulfilling its Vision "To sustainably grow by delighting more consumers globally."

For instance, in Spain, tomato growers implemented new soil health procedures, ultimately yielding an improved 70 tons of tomatoes per acre annually.

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