Smithfield Foods is honored to receive the World Sustainability Awards’ prestigious “Profit with a Purpose” award. The company is recognized for aligning sustainability and profitability through its innovative renewable natural gas (RNG) programs, which significantly reduce carbon emissions by converting methane from hog manure into clean energy for consumers while presenting new revenue opportunities for family farmers. The company’s RNG program is the cornerstone of its Smithfield Renewables platform, developed to accelerate Smithfield’s progress toward realizing its industry leading carbon reduction goals. Smithfield’s biogas joint ventures with Roeslein Alternative Energy (RAE) and Dominion Energy (Align RNG) are projected to collectively produce a combined 5.3 mil dekatherms of RNG, the equivalent of removing 630,000 vehicles from the world’s roads.
