Hormel Foods has a long-standing record of balancing success with respon-
sibility for all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers
and consumers. To highlight our work, we have included examples related to
sustainability, environmental responsibility and philanthropy.
ACHIEVING GOLD Hormel Foods is one of the first companies to receive LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) Gold for a manufacturing plant. Progressive Processing in Dubuque, Iowa, is
expected to use at least 25 percent less energy and water than a plant built to meet current building
codes and industry standards.
CHALLENGE DRIVES ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY To meet the environmental sustainability goals
at Hormel Foods, employees are encouraged to develop, implement and report about innovative projects
through our annual Sustainability Best of the Best competition. Last year, the Diamond Crystal Brands
plant in Savannah, Georgia, was named the champion for a Green Team project addressing solid waste
and recycling.
