Project Overview

In May 2016, the Queretaro, Mexico plant replaced their aging boiler with a more efficient model. This project is expected to reduce site-wide water consumption by approximately 2% annually. The Queretaro plant will continue to reduce water consumption through employee engagement, asset care programs, and capital projects within the next three years. While all Kellogg manufacturing facilities have established water-efficiency goals and are implementing water-saving initiativ…

In May 2016, the Queretaro, Mexico plant replaced their aging boiler with a more efficient model. This project is expected to reduce site-wide water consumption by approximately 2% annually. The Queretaro plant will continue to reduce water consumption through employee engagement, asset care programs, and capital projects within the next three years. While all Kellogg manufacturing facilities have established water-efficiency goals and are implementing water-saving initiatives, we are focusing on high risk locations. The Queretaro plant is investigating water reuse projects to be implemented in 2017 or 2018. This strategy is expected to be an effective response to the short term risk to water stress. Water conservation and capital investment costs were estimated based on previously implemented conservation programs and projects and those currently under investigation. If growth is constrained at the Queretaro plant, one potential solution would be to invest capital in either product relocation or water reduction/reuse technologies at this facility. This response is not expected to be required within the next decade. This strategy is expected to be an effective response to the long term water scarcity risks.

Project Results

Reduced site-wide water consumption by approximately 2% annually.
