Page 15 - 2014 J. R. Simplot Company Sustainability Summary

section title | 15
In 2009, Simplot joined the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Save Energy Now Leader program and adopted the goal
of reducing our energy output by 25 percent over 10
years. To date, the results have been astonishing—five of
the Company’s thirteen industrial facilities have reduced
their energy intensity over 25 percent, with other locations
expected to surpass that goal soon.
In fact, we have earned numerous awards for our energy-
saving efforts. The company is an EPA ENERGY STAR
Partner, with the first frozen vegetable processing facility
in the nation to earn the ENERGY STAR award. The
facilities shown below have consistently earned the annual
ENERGY STAR award as well.
Outside the United States, Simplot’s Portage La
Prairie facility in Canada also met the ENERGY STAR
requirements from 2009–2013.
Two Simplot facilities were also recently honored with the
Idaho Governor’s award for Excellence in Industrial Energy
Efficiency. These awards recognize companies that
showcase exceptional leadership in implementing energy
efficiency at their local facilities, and are a reflection of
Simplot’s ongoing focus on creating policies and best
practices for reducing energy intensity.
