Making Food Better for the Future
Building a more sustainable food manufacturing business
At Alamance Foods, sustainability is an ongoing area of focus across our business. We’re working to better understand our environmental impact, strengthen our environmental management practices, and explore opportunities for more sustainable products and packaging.
Sustainability
Better Food. Smarter Footprint.
Our sustainability approach focuses on three key areas: emissions reduction, environmental management, and responsible sourcing. Through measurement, research, operational practices, and collaboration, we’re continuing to explore opportunities to improve our environmental performance.

Responsible Sourcing
At Alamance Foods, understanding our greenhouse gas emissions is an important part of our sustainability efforts. We track emissions and use established standards to better understand our environmental footprint. This information helps inform our emissions reduction strategies and long-term decarbonization planning.

Submitted our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative.
Implementing emissions reduction strategies informed by our science-based targets.
Planning for longer-term decarbonization aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.
Good Stewardship Starts With Good Systems
Environmental management is an important part of our sustainability efforts across our facilities. Our Environmental Management System is implemented across 100% of Alamance Foods facilities and supported by audits, employee training, and ongoing environmental performance monitoring. We also use real-time wastewater monitoring and integrated control systems designed to help prevent silo overflow and potential contamination events, with standard operating procedures and training supporting these practices.
Innovation That Starts With the Product
Sustainability is also part of our ongoing product development and R&D efforts. Alamance Foods is exploring recyclable and bio-based packaging alternatives, opportunities to reduce packaging weight, and lower-carbon ingredients and formulations. We’re also researching the life cycle impacts of aerosol products and collaborating with university researchers to better understand opportunities for improvement.
