Manitowoc Foodservice Sustainability Report
New Port Richey, Fla. - December 2, 2011 - Manitowoc Foodservice in conjunction with its parent company, The Manitowoc Company, is pleased to announce the completion of their second annual Corporate Sustainability Report. Extended product life Extended product life is the foundation of our products and customer sustainability initiatives. By working to extend the life of our products, Manitowoc Foodservice reduces the demand for raw materials and energy consumed when new products are manufactured, packaged, and shipped. New product introduction We've incorporated guidelines for use of sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials into our new product introduction process, along with similar guidelines for energy and water saving. This discipline helps us to maintain rigorous focus on these important initiatives as we design products for the future. As a result, we are incorporating more environmentally friendly materials into our design. Committed to product development that meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR® guidelines Manitowoc was named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year by the U.S. Department of Energy for two years in a running in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 and 2013 we were honored with the ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence award. For 2014 and beyond we will continue to partner with government agencies and customers alike to develop products that meet our customers demands for lower operational costs and greater energy efficiency.
