KeHE’s Sustainability Mission Statement: In alignment with our core purpose of serving to make lives better, we are committed to being responsible stewards of the environment to create a sustainable future for all. We will establish and implement a comprehensive and multi-year action plan that reduces emissions and solid waste throughout our value chain. KeHE is committed to leveraging its platform of business as a force for Good in our world. As an extension of this value, we also recognize our stewardship role of caring for our planet, and are making meaningful progress towards our four main climate action commitment areas of transportation, energy, waste, and refrigerants. If the United States went grocery shopping, it would leave with five bags, drop two in the parking lot, and leave them there. This may seem crazy, but as a country we leave a full 40% of our food uneaten. That’s why we’ve partnered with Climate Collaborative to provide retailers with best practices to reduce food waste. At KeHE, we believe in a quadruple bottom line: profits, plus people, planet, and purpose. By using business as a force for good, we can positively impact our people, the planet, and our communities. That’s why we took the step to become a certified B Corporation in 2015.
