We recognize climate change is an unprecedented global challenge, and we continue along our Journey to Zero Carbon. As part of GF’s longstanding commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing and operations, we are constantly looking for new ways to minimize our impact on the environment.
This spring, GF announced the results of our three-year (2019-2021) resource conservation goals. Using a wide variety of innovative strategies, our team successfully met or exceeded goals for realizing annual savings in electricity use, water use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, as well as chemical use and waste generation.
These annual savings include:
GHG emissions roughly equivalent those from 5,000 U.S. homes in an average year
Electricity roughly equivalent to the amount used by 8,000 U.S. homes in an average year
Enough water to fill 136 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Chemical use and waste generation roughly equivalent to the weight of a herd of 1,600 elephants
