McCormick, with the assistance of the Missouri Department of Conservation, launched FOREST 360, an effort to plant indigenous trees on 40 acres of the land around the distillery. It is estimated that one tree absorbs 2,000 lbs of C02 in its lifetime and planting the trees will help cut down on carbon dioxide emissions that are thought to contribute to global warming. In addition, McCormick has invited their business partners to participate in this project. The response has been favorable and McCormick would like to acknowledge with gratitude and appreciation the support of their business partners for a greener tomorrow.
