Bold Steps Award July 2007 - Organically Grown Company
Overview
Organically Grown Company was honored for creating a comprehensive sustainability plan. The plan outlines the company's three sustainability goals: achieve carbon neutrality and eliminate fossil fuel use; eliminate solid waste; and support on-farm sustainability. Organically Grown has taken bold steps toward achieving these goals by increasing the efficiency of its fleet through a combination of equipment utilization and routing optimization initiatives, switching to a B99 biodiesel blend, reducing solid waste and conducting sustainability workshops to share information with growers.
