We’re inspired to give back and make a broad impact—and especially proud of our community investment efforts in the places where we live and work. Thank you to our 70+ team members who cooked over 1,500 meals across six Omaha and Council Bluffs community shelters.
We’re working with SolAmerica to place eight acres of solar panels on our St. Elmo, IL facility property, a two megawatt system which will generate enough power to produce approximately 35% of all our Wish-bone salad dressings—as well as Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrups—at the facility. Construction will begin in the winter and is set to be completed in spring 2020. This project is one piece of Conagra Brands’ exploration of renewable energy technologies for our facilities.
