Sustainability

Keeping the world beautiful with sustainable goals.

We’re always looking forward because what we do today will impact how we live tomorrow. We’re committed to providing your family with clean, all-natural meats while reducing our environmental impact.

The biggest way we’re helping the planet is through a series of sustainable goals. We’re focusing on energy, GHG emissions, water preservation and recycling.

ONGOING GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Providing clean products with minimally processed ingredients.
Waste reduction with efficient packaging when compared to traditional tubs.
Easy access to entire country with Chicago-based facilities.

ENERGY INITIATIVES & GHG EMISSIONS

We are accountable for our energy consumption so we work to reduce our carbon footprint. We engage voluntarily in the Energy Start Industry Challenge to provide transparency in our carbon footprint to our employees, customers and Energy Star.

We’re installing solar panels to produce the equivalent of 1,050 bulbs of light and conduct regular energy audits.

WATER USAGE FOOTPRINT

We’re hard at work to reduce our overall water usage during production. With our goal of limiting our consumption, we’ve installed water consumption monitors and auto shut-off systems for real-time alerts, tracking and reduction during off-peak hours.

Because there’s nothing more important than preserving precious resources.

RECYCLING

We’re aiming high with a goal of recycling 90% of all materials that enter our production facility. But until we can reach that goal, we’re implementing recyclable substitutes to help cut down on the waste produced during production.

We’re also rolling out additional recycling streams as we strive to cut down waste.
