Green Purchasing

Did you know? A company can save up to 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide by simply reducing packaging by 10%. www.climatecrisis.net

In line with our waste reduction goals, we pride ourselves on our partnerships with vendors who share our commitment to environmental stewardship. We give preference to vendors providing eco-friendly goods or services, such as products with reduced packaging, and local, organic food and beverage options. The careful selection of vendors is crucial to achieving our waste reduction and recycling goals.
