Integrated Environmental Management System
With manufacturing facilities located throughout the world, ConAgra Foods has implemented an integrated environmental management system that is centrally managed at the corporate level and executed locally by leadership at each plant. This model enables ConAgra Foods to leverage similarities between plants, proactively communicate lessons learned, efficiently adapt to changes in environmental regulations, and share best practices.

Compliance with Federal and local laws represents minimum performance standards and ConAgra Foods challenges our manufacturing facilities to exceed the requirements through pollution prevention. We have adopted Lean Manufacturing processes across the organization, which emphasizes efficiency in all aspects of production. This methodology minimizes environmental risks by streamlining and simplifying processes.

Our environmental management program is supported by a formal Code of Conduct agreed to by all employees of the organization. This ethical standard provides a foundation for operating with integrity, sense of ownership, and accountability. ConAgra Foods' Code of Conduct includes specific language detailing expectations with regard to environmental compliance, committing all facilities to minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment.

Sustainability: Follow our Footprint
The current focus of our sustainability program is synonymous with the two greatest environmental challenges facing businesses throughout the world: climate change and water. As a result, we are working aggressively to improve energy efficiency throughout our facilities and analyze our use of water to develop a comprehensive strategy for the years to come. We believe that addressing these issues is absolutely critical to ConAgra Foods' long-term success in the food industry.
