On Energy
Energy is used in most phases of our operations for lighting, operating equipment, heating and cooling. To reduce energy use and limit carbon dioxide emissions, Hormel Foods conducts a baseline analysis on one third of our facilities annually. Based on this information, we established benchmarks for 41 facilities to measure energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and plan energy efficient projects to target ways we can conserve and improve energy use.
