Go Green
We Never Stop Going Green
One of the cornerstones of Godshall’s success has always been our core values. And one of those values is our desire to protect the earth’s natural resources by being environmental stewards.
Through innovation, efficient use of energy and water, and respect for the land, we have succeeded in going green in five significant areas: solar, recycling, water reduction, clean burning natural gas and energy reclamation.
SOLAR
Spread out over three locations, Godshall’s has over 4,000 solar panels to generate clean energy. This results in a CO2 offset of over 2,350 tons annually.
RECYCLING
Godshall’s strives to stay landfill free through the committed use of sustainable waste management programs throughout our operations.
WATER REDUCTION
We use robotic washers to reduce water usage which saves nearly 5.5 million gallons of water per year – that’s enough to fill over 130,000 bathtubs!
NATURAL GAS
Our ovens use clean burning natural gas. Natural gas can reduce CO2 emissions up to 60% compared to coal when used to generate electricity.
ENERGY RECLAMATION
We reclaim waste heat from our refrigeration systems and utilize it to heat water for our factories. This saves over 50 million BTU’s per year and reduces 2.7 metric tons of CO2 per year.
