McCormick Commits to Sustainability
McCormick & Company Inc. announces that it signed an agreement with Constellation Energy's Projects & Services Group, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, under which the company will construct an approximately one megawatt solar power system at McCormick's Spice Mill and Distribution Center in Hunt Valley, Md. McCormick will purchase the electricity generated from the system. The spice mill is important globally for McCormick as it is the company's largest milling and grinding facility.
"This solar power system is another tangible sign of our commitment to sustainability," states Alan Wilson, McCormick's president and CEO. "The project will allow us to both reduce our energy costs while providing renewable energy to Maryland electricity customers. It is a win-win for the environment and our company. More than ever, businesses must be mindful of community impact. At McCormick we consider it a core value."
Constellation Energy's Projects & Services Group estimates that the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 1,000 metric tons annually and reduce McCormick's electricity costs for this facility by approximately 30 percent in the first year alone. The energy supplied by this project annually is expected to be equivalent to the electricity used by 110 homes in a year.
