Our Commitment to the Environment
Being a good citizen means actively taking responsibility to ensure we’re doing everything we can to leave the Earth in as good a shape, or better, than we found it.
We recognize that being in the pickle business means that we’re in the vegetable business. And that means we’re in the Earth business. It’s critical that we are able stewards of the land we work. For our farms, partners, employees, neighbors, and customers.
2030 Goals
We’ve set a target to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030. We developed this target using methodologies and tools provided by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Once we established our target, we committed to monitoring our GHG emissions beginning in 2024.
What that means
We began collecting and evaluating GHG emissions data from our company operations in Michigan and Georgia. Scope 1 emissions are created by sources we own or control, and Scope 2 emissions are related to the electricity we purchase.

The First Bite at the GHG Pickle
You can’t make change without having good data. Now that we’ve undertaken this mission, we’ll continue to track and report our progress. This is just the beginning….
