    Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company becomes a partner of NC GreenPower
    by Maribeth Weakland

      Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company is now purchasing renewable energy from NC GreenPower to offset the energy used in their manufacturing process. Based in Santa Fe, N.M., with facilities in Oxford, N.C., Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company joined the NC GreenPower program in December 2005 as a partner-level sponsor.


    Their sponsorship will provide important environmental benefits. By purchasing renewable energy, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company is helping to reduce the amount of pollution in the air typically produced from fossil-fuel based generation of electricity. This reduction in pollution can potentially improve the taste and quality of their tobacco by reducing impurities.

    Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc., makes all-natural tobacco products that contain no additives. Their brand, Natural American Spirit, is the only brand of its kind in the United States that contains both natural and organic tobacco products. Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company’s commitment to the use of cultivation practices that are environmentally-friendly is expanded through their contributions to NC GreenPower.

    Find out more about corporate sponsorship or call 866-533-NCGP to find out how your organization can support NC GreenPower.
