Sustainability Action in the US
In 2019, our Imperial Sugar Company business commissioned its Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) de-colorization project. GAC allows for efficient removal of impurities during the sugar refining process, while significantly reducing water use at the facility.
And when renewing our revolving credit facility (RCF), we built in a sustainability-linked pricing mechanism to support our corporate commitment to create fair and sustainable value. The new RCF builds in interest-rate incentives to exceed our four environmental targets: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, electricity consumption, water use and solid waste sent to landfills.
