Sustainability Snapshot

At the Community Food Co-op we recognize that our responsibilities go beyond the products on our shelves.

We are committed to transparency in annually auditing our sustainability efforts with support from the Sustainable Food Trade Association.

The 2019 Sustainability Snapshot highlights just a few of our achievements from the most recent calendar year.

This year's full report to the Sustainable Food Trade Association will be available on our website soon.

Sustainability reporting is an important tool used by the Co-op’s member-owners, staff, management, and Board of Directors to reflect on the ecological, economic, and social impacts of our business, and to set informed goals and correct course as we enact the changes that will lead us toward a more sustainable future.

Sharing results from our sustainability tracking informs Co-op staff and shoppers on ways we can work even harder to improve our already strong environmental business practices.

Following are just a few highlights. See the entire snapshot online.
