2011 Highlights: Supply Chain

• We are asking our top suppliers to report on their sustainability practices through the nonprofit Supplier Ethical Data Exchange.
• In the first year of our Showcase Barley Farm, we conserved nearly 124.5 million gallons of water — enough to meet the needs of a family of four for more than 850 years.
• Improved barley yields in 2011 saved 7.35 billion gallons of water relative to our barley yields in the 1970s.
• We received the Colorado Motor Carriers Association and the Regional Air Quality Council’s 2011 Green Shipper Award for our efforts to promote fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
• In 2011, we engaged nearly 600 minority- and woman-owned suppliers and spent a total of $448 million with diverse suppliers, 8.8 percent of our total spend on all suppliers.
