Maximizing your business while minimizing impact on the environment
At Cargill and Horizon Milling, corporate responsibility is part of everything we do. It is a company-wide commitment to apply our global knowledge and experience to help meet complex economic, environmental and social challenges wherever we do business. Four commitments anchor the hundreds of programs and initiatives we have underway at any given time:
Environmental innovation
At Cargill, we minimize our environmental impact, pioneer the commercial use of renewable raw materials and help customers reduce their impact on the environment.
- Horizon Milling strives to lead the industry in reducing greenhouse gases by using the least amount of energy per pound of flour we produce.
- From 2006 to 2009, Horizon Milling reduced methyl bromide (pesticide) consumption by 45%.
Responsible supply chains
Horizon Milling partners with industry, governments, non-governmental organizations and local communities to identify and encourage sustainable practices.
