A Winning Culture
Our APV Aseptic Rapid Recovery System won "Sustainable Product Award" at the 2024 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards for its ability to dramatically reduce product waste, water usage, and cleaning time, achieving up to an 87% improvement in product savings. The recognition underscores a commitment to developing solutions that drive environmental stewardship while safeguarding consumer health. In泭2023, the Charlotte HQ office cafeteria diverted 94,000 pounds of food waste from landfills, winning Business Intelligence Groups, Sustainability Initiative of the Year. Since its launch in 2019, the programs transitioned residual food into nutrient-rich compost used by local North Carolina farmers.

Energy
We take actionable steps to minimize our carbon footprint, from advanced recycling programs that reduce waste to initiatives that promote energy efficiency and resource conservation. Powered by renewable energy sources and supported by robust recycling programs, we strive to make a genuine impact. We focus on tangible, measurable goals, such as reducing energy consumption by 3% each year, reflecting our dedication to continuous improvement in sustainability. This is done through heating optimization across sites, LED lighting prioritization and advancing heat transfer solutions to conserve in process, i.e. heat exchangers (HEX). These efforts are part of our broader mission to drive positive environmental change while supporting our customers and communities.
Waste
Our commitment to waste reduction is reflected in our comprehensive recycling initiatives, which target both our internal operations and the innovative solutions we offer to our customers. We aim to increase our recycling efforts by 3% year over year as well. By minimizing waste in production, we actively reduce our environmental footprint while also helping our customers optimize their own sustainability practices. Through smarter waste management, reuse, and recycling strategies, were saving around the world, for both and the environment and sustainable growth.
Water
We understand that water is a precious resource, and were dedicated to minimizing its use across all aspects of our business. This commitment is evident in the solutions we design, manufacture, and service, which are specifically engineered to help our customers reduce their water consumption without compromising performance. In 2023, our operational advancements saved over six million gallons of water, demonstrating our proactive approach to resource management and our ongoing effort to promote a more sustainable future for the communities and industries we serve.
Emissions
Were committed to reducing our carbon footprint by leveraging innovative approaches that minimize the need for on-site visits, transportation and wasted energy that transfer into CO2 emissions. Operational upgrades like new heating and sensor systems have been the primary ways in which were cutting back. Using the market-based method, we produced 609 fewer metric tons in CO2 emissions in 2023 than in 2022 across our operations.
Designed with Sustainability
Certain innovations are different. Theyre special in their own unique, green waysetting themselves apart from other solutions. Theyre not only driving efficiency and reducing operational impact but also reinforce a new dedication to sustainable manufacturing, benefiting both our customers and the planet.泭
