Earth Friendly Ice Cream: Unilever Covington Plant
Partners With CSC Sugar LLC to Reduce Carbon Footprint
In 2014, CSC Sugar LLC relocated their manufacturing facility from Missouri to Covington, TN to reduce the environmental impact of supplying liquid sugar to the Unilever Covington Ice Cream Plant and other regional customers. Reduction in total trucking miles, the use of a new innovative short haul trailer and the opening of a new raw sugar supply route, will result in a significant reduction in total GHG emissions.

Diane Stevenson, Director of Sustainability at CSC Sugar joined Simon Usher, CEO of Bonsucro in a panel moderated by Mark Beschler of Unilever. They addressed cane sugar sourcing and standards, the hard facts behind cane production and sustainability and how buyers can manage and mitigate the risks as well as create lasting value in this complex supply chain through the use of global standards and multi stakeholder cooperation.
