For more than just making a "delicious difference", Kraft Foods Philippines (KFP) won Gold at the 4th Global CSR Awards last April 19 for its "Go Green" Program which continues to save water and energy and reduce carbon emissions for the environment.
Aside from "Making Today Delicious", Kraft Foods, with its multi-awarded sustainability program "Go Green" aims to preserve the environment by reducing KFP's use of water and energy and by lessening its carbon emissions. Kraft Foods has recently upgraded their Water Recycling Facility last March 2012 in their Sucat, Parañaque Manufacturing Plant, which utilizes reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light to treat water that KFP uses in their production activities.

The Global CRS Awards is Asia's most prestigious recognition awards program for corporate social responsibility (CSR). Organized by the Pinnacle Group International based in Singapore, the Global CSR Awards recognizes companies for outstanding programs demonstrating ongoing commitment to respect for individuals, communities and the environment in the way they do business.
Kraft Foods has bagged its 5th Award for its "Go Green" program in two years.
One of the endeavours of Kraft Foods is to "make every drop reusable" with its wastewater recycling program, involving specific processes producing the high quality standards KFP needs for its manufacturing activities. As a result, Kraft Foods uses treated water instead of fresh water to preserve our natural resources.

“I am personally very pleased to share that with this improvement initiative, Kraft Foods will be able to make a significant reduction to its water consumption,” says Sudip Mall, Kraft Foods Philippines’ General Manager. The amount of water that Kraft Foods hopes to reduce with this new facility is equivalent to filling up 4 Olympic-sized swimming pools or 581,000 5-gallon containers of water!
“Our programs like ‘Go Green,’ don’t just make sense for our business. We also work to protect resources for future generations. I would like to add that it is truly remarkable the way our employees have relentlessly focused on driving our environmental initiatives, of which this facility is an example. We are very proud of the award bestowed upon us and this new phase of our program for the planet’s betterment," he adds.
Aside from the biomass boilers KFP will use in the future, which reduce carbon emissions and utilize alternative energy sources, the ultimate goal of Kraft Foods' "Go Green" program is that by 2013, it will have reduced its water, energy, and carbon dioxide emission and waste generation by 5% year-on-year. It also continues to reduce, reuse and recycle through their Water Management, Ozone Protection, Energy Conservation and Waste Management and Reducing Packaging Use.
