SMITHFIELD, VA (KELO.com) — Smithfield foods has made a major pledge.
On Thursday, the meat processor has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2030.
The company will go beyond carbon neutrality to effectively remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits.
It will achieve this goal without purchasing carbon credits to offset emissions.
This announcement builds on Smithfield’s ambitious goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2025 across its entire supply chain, which it announced in 2016.
