Panera Bread strengthens its campaign to curb global warming with a cool food pledge. Despite being associated with high carbon emissions, meat consumption in the United States remains high. Also, beef production accounts for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Panera Bread's drive is to provide American consumers with dietary guidelines to help them change their eating patterns to help reduce carbon emissions. Through the cool foods pledge, the company uses traffic lights for different healthy and unhealthy foods. Foods labeled green are considered healthy, while those labeled yellow should be consumed in moderation. In 2015, Panera Bread also announced its policy against the use of consumption of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), making it the first food chain in the country to question the safety and environmental friendliness of these foods.
