"At the LIBBY'S plant in Morton I learned that more than 100,000 tons of pumpkins are processed there and the operation produces enough canned pumpkin to enrich nearly 72 million pumpkin pies annually; the company sources from fields to the factory within a 50-mile radius to keep pumpkins fresh, minimize the environmental footprint, and support the local economy, and it emphasizes deep roots in Illinois and partnerships with farmers to implement more sustainable growing practices." - Tori Allen
"The multinational food company, which generated roughly $91 billion in revenue last year and is best known in the U.S. for candy bars, has long been a dominant global coffee player through its instant-coffee brand and related businesses. After divesting confectionery assets to refocus on higher-growth categories, it has been building its coffee portfolio—recently taking a majority stake in a specialty roaster and spending $7.15 billion to acquire another major coffee retailer’s packaged-retail lines—with the stated aim of combining its coffee brands (including instant and capsule formats) and leveraging global distribution and responsible-sourcing capabilities." - Daniela Galarza
