SUPPLY CHAIN

Extending our “green” reach beyond our own company, our suppliers are encouraged to actively pursue resource conservation efforts within their own companies.

Working with our freight providers, we have been able to reduce our carbon footprint by optimizing weight of trailers, speed management and continually researching fuel saving technologies.

Almond growers embrace the zero waste approach. Hulls are used for cattle feed, shells for livestock bedding and continuous improvement means further innovation is underway!

Peanuts are naturally sustainable. Originally introduced as a nitrogen-fixing rotation crop for cotton, they replenish soil with the essential nitrogen depleted by other crops. This means that less fertilizer is needed to grow peanuts, as well as the subsequent rotation crop, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions.
