2012 CSR Awards: Hall of Fame – Campbell Soup Company

Through its CSR program, Campbell Soup Company strives to make a positive impact in the workplace, in the marketplace and in the communities in which it operates. Since 2005, Campbell has invested in more energy-efficient machinery and systems, and in smarter processes. “Minding a business’s environmental footprint is no longer an option, but an imperative—and a best practice that boosts the bottom line,” says Dave Stangis, Campbell’s VP of CSR. In 2010 Campbell announced a series of 2020 goals detailing how the company planned to cut the environmental footprint of its product portfolio in half. This year, Campbell was recognized in two categories at the Climate Leadership Awards: for aggressively reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions and for establishing stringent GHG reduction goals. —SVC
