Congratulating Successful Energy Managers
Frito-Lay has found that applauding their site energy champion's efforts reinforces the importance of energy management within their large organization including 37 manufacturing plants. Frito-Lay uses its annual energy summit, attended by over 300 employees, as the setting for a National Recognition Dinner. The energy champions of the highest performing plants are invited to this event, dine with senior executives, and are recognized for their contributions towards Frito-Lay's energy goals. Providing this kind of recognition for plant energy managers demonstrates to all employees that their involvement in energy management is highly valued, and crucial in maintaining Frito-Lay's energy performance improvements, which have reduced greenhouse gas emissions every year by over 200,000 metric tons of carbon equivalent compared with emission levels in 1999. These reductions offset emissions equivalent to 140,000 cars.
