This month, the world celebrates Earth Day, a day of education about environmental issues and a demonstration of support for the protection of the air we breathe, the water we drink and all other natural resources.
Across our industry, companies are exploring ways to reduce use of resources like water, packaging and energy. And while there is work yet to do, we are improving in many areas, and I couldn’t be prouder of our collective efforts.
At Flowers, we recognize that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather patterns, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. We seek to reduce emissions through a combination of energy awareness and efficiency upgrades. And we know that small steps can yield big results.
Our energy strategy includes three key components — track, integrate and share.
We use an online energy management program to track energy use and emissions at all our facilities: bakeries, distribution centers and warehouses. Any unusual change in energy consumption that may warrant an investigation triggers an alert, notifying the facility’s management.
We improve energy efficiency by looking for ways to incorporate energy-saving measures when upgrading equipment, installing new production lines or designing new projects.
