WhiteWave Foods announces new sustainability targets
By 2025, WhiteWave will further reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste-to-landfill per pound of product by 20% from a 2013 baseline.
The WhiteWave Foods Co., Denver, Colo., unveiled new sustainability commitments and 2025 environmental targets, fulfilling its 2016 commitment to source 100% of the cocoa powder used to produce its North American brands, expand its 100% sustainable cocoa commitment to its European Alpro brand and pledge to reduce sugar in Alpro products by 12.5% by 2020.
“At WhiteWave, we aim to produce great-tasting food in a way that’s better for people, our communities and our planet,” says Gregg Engles, chairman and CEO. “To achieve this goal, we are constantly seeking new ways to deliver the transparency, choice and responsible practices people are looking for today.”
