Sustainability

At Greenridge Fruit, Inc., we are committed to being a responsible and sustainable business that not only delivers high-quality fruit to our customers, but also prioritizes the well-being of our planet and the communities we serve.  We are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint through energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and community involvement.

Energy Efficiency

  • By implementing motion sensor lighting, we're able to reduce standby power consumption and associated energy waste.

  • LED bulbs are energy-efficient alternatives that use significantly less power than traditional incandescent bulbs, resulting in a reduction of our energy consumption. 

  • Our solar panels generate clean energy from the sun's rays. By capturing this renewable energy source, we're able to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower our carbon emissions.

  • Programmable thermostats allow us to regulate temperature settings with precision, ensuring that our heating and cooling systems are only operating when needed.

Environmental Responsibility

  • Partnering with suppliers who share a focus on environmentally friendly packaging and shipping materials meeting FDA guidelines. Plastic bags are 100% recyclable at in store drop off locations.

  • Our linen and paper supplier are TRSA Clean Green Certified.

  • Our growers use sustainable farming techniques and green practices throughout their operations.

  • We have installed automated hand wash stations in our facility, ensuring almost no water is wasted. The stations also support sustainability initiatives with 100% recyclable solution cartridges reducing landfill waste.

  • We use electric and propane powered forklifts to reduce harmful emissions, creating a cleaner working environment.

  • We have partnered with local dairy farmers to donate expired fruit, reducing food waste and supporting the local agricultural community.

Our Commitment

We will continue to prioritize sustainability in all aspects of our operations and strive to make a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve. We believe that sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and we are committed to making a lasting difference.
