Placeholder Image
MADISON - Jack Link's Beef Jerky has been recognized as a 2014 Green Master in the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council's Green Masters Program. As a Green Master, Jack Link's joins a select group of companies scoring in the top 20 percent of the program. Each of these companies was introduced at the seventh annual Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council Conference held on Dec. 3.

Jack Link's joined the Green Masters Program last year, and in a year, worked their way up to the Green Master level.

In 2013, Jack Link's Minong facility funded the construction of a 13-mile gas pipeline from Trego to their facility in Minong. This brought more reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy to the area, while reducing their carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions significantly. In addition, their facility in New Glarus achieved zero waste to landfill status in 2013 and 2014, contributing to their overall domestic manufacturing zero waste to landfill achievement.
