Where We've Been in FY '09

  • We reduced our Specialty Coffee Business Unit energy metric in FY'09 by 23%, exceeding our goal of 10%.
  • We reduced our Specialty Coffee Business Unit waste-to-landfill metric in FY'09 by 26%, exceeding our goal of 2%.
  • We launched Changing Climate Change, a new enterprise-wide initiative aimed at better understanding, mitigating, and reducing our carbon footprint. Through the initiative, we awarded $800,000 total over five years in four separate grants to projects lead by Ceres, the National Parks Conservation Association, the New England Transportation Institute, and a joint project of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture and Catholic Relief Services. The initiative also includes employee incentives, operational initiatives, and the continued purchase of renewable energy certificates to offset our estimated emissions.
