CLIMATE ACTION - SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT
Driving positive impact through UNFI’s Climate Action Partnership
OUR ICONIC BOTTLES ARE NOW MADE WITH 100% RECYCLED PLASTIC*
100% recycled plastic can reduce greenhouse gases by 19%** or more.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY
PACKAGING MATERIAL TO REDUCE OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Since starting these efforts 5 years ago, we have avoided producing more than 4 million pounds of plastic while still delivering the same quality products.
WE ARE REDUCING OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AT OUR
BAKERSFIELD, CA MANUFACTURING FACILITY
We built an internal sustainability team at our one owned plant and in 2023, we reduced our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 24% compared to 2022.
100% OF OUR ORGANIC ALMONDS ARE BEE FRIENDLY FARMING® CERTIFIED
Bee Friendly Farming® certified means the farm provides various support to pollinators such as flowering plants, clean water, and permanent habitat.
