Smithfield Foods Honored for Environmental, Worker Safety Achievements
The North American Meat Institute (NAMI) has recognized 51 Smithfield Foods locations in the U.S. with Environmental Recognition Awards and 33 of its U.S. facilities with Worker Safety Awards.
NAMI honors meat packers and processors that go above and beyond safety and environmental compliance via its annual awards program and will recognize winning facilities via the association's annual conference March 29-30.
"Through our culture of continuous improvement, Smithfield has led industry efforts to ensure the health and safety of our workforce and to implement improvements across our value chain that safeguard the environment," said Stewart Leeth, chief sustainability officer for Smithfield Foods. "We're delighted that NAMI has once again recognized dozens of our facilities for their good stewardship of our Smithfield Family members, planet and natural resources in the communities we operate in."
