14 AIR EMISSIONS Refrigeration is a core component of our operations and is essential to food safety throughout our warehousing and distributions processes. However, leakage of refrigerant gases into the atmosphere can contribute to ozone depletion and global warming, representing approximately 16% of our carbon emissions. To mitigate emissions from our facility refrigeration and fleet refrigeration systems, we procure a combination of refrigeration products that allow us to meet our strict food and product safety requirements with the lowest possible emissions. As part of this effort, we seek to use refrigerants with a lower greenhouse gas potential within our refrigeration processes. We are confident that emerging sustainable refrigerant technologies and our procurement of more renewable energy will help to lower our carbon footprint associated with commercial refrigeration as we look to find a more long-term, systemic solution to this unique industry challenge. In addition, 99.95% of all refrigerants consumed across PFG have a validated ozone depletion potential (ODP) score of zero, meaning the compound has no degradation impact on the ozone layer. OPERATIONAL WASTE We monitor operational waste and food waste to ensure we can minimize the creation of waste and look for ways to divert as much of that waste from landfill as possible. We view operational waste as material waste generated from the operation of our facilities. We are actively tracking the recycling of our pallets, stretch wrap and corrugate. PFG has established an effective approach to capture and recycle pallets that has led to the diversion of approximately 7 million pallets from landfills. For fiscal 2021, our waste diversion numbers show a total diversion from landfill of 73%. • TOTAL POUNDS RECYCLED (stretch and corrugated): 16,341,194 • TOTAL POUND PALLETS RECYCLED: 280,841,952 • TOTAL WASTE POUNDS (including recycled): 407,658,946 • TOTAL DIVERTED FROM LANDFILL: 73% WASTE MANAGEMENT
