Nestlé buildings go greener

RENEWABLE ENERGY: Nestlé Purina PetCare Flagstaff factory in Arizona, United States.

Nestlé Purina PetCare is converting the sun’s rays into renewable energy at its Flagstaff pet food factory in Arizona.

The factory, which produces brands such as Purina One BeyOnd, has 1,900 solar panels on its rooftop.

“Our solar array – the largest in the region for a private enterprise, shows this community, our consumers and our associates that Nestlé Purina is a leader in this area and a responsible corporate citizen,” said Bill Calloway, Flagstaff Factory Manager, for Nestlé Purina PetCare US.

“The renewable energy captured by the solar panels in one year is estimated to offset the annual greenhouse gas emission from 88 passenger vehicles,” added Tom Burke, Engineer and Project Manager, at the Flagstaff factory.
