Water Conservation

Since water is vital to growing and processing tomatoes and other crops, we believe it is important to conserve this resource carefully for future generations and to help guarantee that Heinz has the water it needs to operate well into the future.

Our work in sustainable agriculture includes collaborating with suppliers around the world to implement water conservation initiatives, particularly drip irrigation methods that are substantially reducing crop-production water usage in North America, Europe, and Australia. Drip irrigation delivers a steady supply of moisture close to the ground to nourish plants, resulting in slower evaporation and lower overall water usage.

For instance in Europe, we took steps to improve wastewater cleaning and to cut overall water consumption.
