Cargill Outlines Safety and Sustainability Goals

Cargill (Minneapolis) has announced its 2015 worker safety and environmental sustainability goals. By 2015, the company aims to achieve zero fatalities and zero injuries at 75% of its facilities around the world. Cargill also plans to increase its renewable energy usage and freshwater efficiency by 12.5% and 5% respectively.

New worker safety strategies employed last year have, among other achievements, led to a 50% reduction in fatalities at Cargill facilities.

The company has made complementary progress in environmental sustainability with 11% of its energy portfolio coming from renewable sources in 2011.
