Kraft Foods reported results of a survey that measured the processor’s impact on climate change, land and water use. The multi-year footprinting project was accomplished in partnership with Quantis Inc. (www.quantis-intl.com) and reviewed and analyzed by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and academics at the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment.
“Having the ‘big picture’ of our total footprint—from farm to fork—validates the focus of our sustainability efforts, particularly advancing sustainable agriculture,” says Roger Zellner, sustainability director for research, development & quality, Kraft Foods. “Experts say climate change, land and water use may be among the biggest challenges in feeding a world of 9 billion people in 2050. As we continue our sustainability journey, we now have more insight into where we can make the greatest difference.”
