Campbell Honored by American Heart Association for Sodium Reduction Leadership and Heart Health Awareness Efforts

Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) will be honored tonight by the American Heart Association at its annual New York City Heart Ball with the “Mission Achievement Award.” Campbell is the first recipient of the award, which was established to recognize an organization whose extraordinary efforts help to advance the mission of the American Heart Association through consumer public education and awareness, corporate support and industry leadership in prevention.

Denise Morrison, President of Campbell North America Soup, Sauces and Beverages, will accept the award on behalf of Campbell. “The American Heart Association represents the gold standard for heart health awareness and they are a key strategic partner of Campbell,” said Morrison. “We are honored to be recognized for our efforts to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle, from our great-tasting, heart-healthy soups, sauces, beverages and breads in the marketplace, to the culture of wellness we have created in the workplace.”

Campbell has been a national supporter of the AHA’s Go Red For Women movement since 2006 and has pledged more than $3.6 million to help raise awareness of heart disease in women. Through Campbell’s “AdDress Your Heart” program, the company helps women learn about their risk of heart disease and the importance of healthy eating to manage disease risk factors.

“The American Heart Association is proud to honor Campbell Soup Company with the Heart of New York Mission Achievement Award,” said Jeffrey C. LeSage, Chairman of the Board of the American Heart Association – New York City Board of Directors and National Managing Partner, Tax, KPMG. “Campbell continues to lead the charge against heart disease and stroke. Through its products in the marketplace and corporate wellness programs in its facilities across the country, Campbell is making a real contribution in helping to build longer and healthier lives for all Americans.”
