Evol, a brand of Conagra Brands is taking a step toward protecting the environment by becoming the first brand to introduce Carbonfree Certified Carbon Neutral single-serve frozen meals. This June, eight Evol meals, produced in a TRUE certified Zero Waste facility, will be Certified Carbon Neutral through the Carbonfree Product Certification Program, according to a company statement, The all-new Five Cheese Alfredo Mac with Chicken headlines a collection that includes three vegetarian meals, such as Butternut Squash & Sage Ravioli.
Carbonfund.org Foundation Certified Carbonfree® products have “net zero” CO2 emissions, meaning brands like Evol measure the carbon footprint of the products over their full lifecycle, cradle-to-grave – from ingredient sourcing and packaging to product manufacturing, distribution, and consumer use and end of life – and invest in projects that remove an equal amount of carbon from the atmosphere. Evol commissioned a third-party life cycle assessment to measure the carbon footprint of its eight Certified Carbon Neutral frozen single-serve meals and is offsetting the carbon footprint with investments in renewable wind energy and forest preservation projects verified by Carbonfund.org.
“Evol’s philosophy has always been rooted in making great tasting food while doing what’s right,” said Jill Dexter, VP/GM, Better for You and Family Meals, Conagra Brands. “The Certified Carbon Neutral status of these eight frozen meals is a visible step in our journey to help protect the environment.”
