Energy Efficiency

Energy consumption is a major concern at Heinz. By addressing energy consumption, Heinz can mitigate the financial impacts of rising energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and eliminate inefficiencies in our factories and offices around the world.

In the U.K., we are an active participant in The Carbon Trust, which was established by the government to reduce carbon emissions. Under this program, our Kitt Green facility, Heinz’s largest food processing facility in Europe, has reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 13% over the past three years. This achievement was made possible by the installation of energy-efficient continuous cooking equipment, as well as packaging innovations that enable food products to be cooked in the can during production, an energy-efficient process that we are extending to other facilities.
