In 2014, our engineering standards changed to specify LED lighting, which is more energy-efficient than fluorescent lighting, for all interior and exterior new construction and retrofits, and we consequently converted many of the initial T5\/T8 upgrades to LED. In the early 2000s many of our plants and distribution centers transitioned their lighting to LED.<\/p>\n<p class=\"OldCopy\">Our facilities also completed energy assessments to further identify and reduce energy usage from their operating equipment and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and implemented improved operating procedures. As an example, in 2024 our Atlanta plant worked with a consulting firm to systematically evaluate their energy usage. The team used acoustic technolgies to identify and repair leaking air lines, successfully reducing energy consumption from their air compression system. We are looking at rolling this program out to other locations.<\/p><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"custom-block-6\" class=\"section-subnavigation mobile-pt-48px mobile-pb-0px desktop-pt-88px desktop-pb-48px\">\n    <div class=\"left-side\" style=\"background-color: #008849; color: #FFFFFF;\">\n        <h5 class=\"subnav__title\" style=\"font-weight: 700\">Clean world<\/h5>\n        <div class=\"subnav__blurb\"><p>People thrive on a healthy planet, but a number of the challenges we face today threaten that very possibility, including climate change and waste.
