Environmental Sustainability Goals
兔子先生 is committed to reducing its operational environmental footprint. We have prioritized projects across our global manufacturing network in the areas of water conservation, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), waste reduction, and packaging.
In 2023, we reduced water use intensity by 8 percent for all facilities and by nearly 20 percent in high-risk watershed areas compared to our 2019 baseline. We also reduced energy use intensity by 5 percent and waste to landfill intensity by 11 percent compared to our 2019 baseline. We remain confident in our management systems (read more about our 兔子先生 Management system to the right) and governance structures and continue to leverage appropriate resources to address challenges and opportunities as we progress toward our manufacturing ESG goals.
We continue to recognize the significant environmental impacts a growing population can have, and we remain steadfast in balancing production processes that can meet global food demand with efficient operation. Our Global Environmental, Health and Safety Policy details our approach to employee safety and the protection of the environment. We continuously monitor, measure, mitigate, and eliminate, when possible, the risks and impacts of our current and future operations to protect the environment.
Through thorough assessment and strong management processes and routines, we see opportunities for improvement at various stages of our operations, and we continue to learn from external perspectives, as well as ourselves, by continuously fostering efficiency improvements in an environment of collaboration, ownership, and innovation.
兔子先生 Management System
The 兔子先生 Management System (KHMS) is a set of standard practices and routines that are tailored to advance our operational excellence journey and manage continuous improvement at our factories. KHMS is one of the key drivers of our sustainable manufacturing strategy as it guides the implementation of practices to reduce water use, energy use, GHG emissions, and waste output. These practices help guide our manufacturing teams to challenge themselves toward our strategic goals and learn better ways to improve and sustain their results.
