SUSTAINABILITY, POWERED BY DATA
The heart of our commitment to sustainability is a process that makes the most of every kernel. It doesn’t stop there – we’re always willing to make changes for the better. Didion is now producing high quality products more efficiently, while being good stewards of the land around us.
90% LOCAL PRODUCERS
Roughly 90% of the corn we purchase is grown within a 100-mile radius of our mill. Working with local producers is a major step toward increasing traceability, sustainability, and food safety.
REDUCE ENERGY INTENSITY BY 25%
We’re on track to meet a U.S. Department of Energy pledge to reduce energy intensity by 25% in 10 years. By partnering with sustainability-minded organizations, like Focus on Energy, we’re designing and implementing process improvements that lead to significant reductions in energy use.
