The most promising new frontier
for Heinz is in the Emerging Markets.
We are growing rapidly in these markets, and we expect them to
generate about 20% of our total sales by 2013.
OUR FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
As a responsible corporate steward for more than a century, Heinz is committed to protecting the planet’s natural resources and enhancing the quality of people’s lives. In May 2008, we announced a global initiative to achieve a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, solid waste and water consumption by 2015. We are making excellent progress in this crucial area and I look forward to providing further details in our 2009 Heinz Corporate Social Responsibility Report. Heinz is also a leader in sustainable agriculture through our HeinzSeed program, which enables us to trace our tomatoes from field to fork. Through the Heinz Company Foundation, our Heinz Micronutrient Program is combating iron-deficiency and malnutrition among children in the developing world. The program has helped 2.6 million children in 15 developing countries. We plan to continue expanding our reach in targeted regions and further establish Heinz as a trusted, global supplier of micronutrient products.
