Smithfield Foods Adopts New GHG Reporting
Packaged meats and fresh pork products producer Smithfield Foods established a new GHG reporting framework based on significant changes to the company's operational footprint, improved data collection and reporting capabilities, and changes to the company's GHG calculation methodology.
"Smithfield was the first major company in our industry to adopt and report a comprehensive sustainability program more than 20 years ago, and we're proud of our continuing track record in environmental stewardship," said Stewart Leeth, chief sustainability officer for Smithfield Foods, in a statement. "This new framework will provide production-based metrics for our customers to better understand the environmental impact of the food they trust us to produce."
