It’s Easy Being A Green Business: Clif Bar“When we grow up, we want to be a fully sustainable business,” organic energy bar producer Clif Bar says. They may still be a long way off, but this Green Power Leadership Award-winning company is doing everything they can to get there.“
In 2001, founder Gary Erickson hired a staff ecologist and began working on reducing Clif Bar’s environmental footprint. They shifted to organic ingredients, eliminated shrink wrap, and got three wind turbines up and running with help from Native Energy. The company later hired a sustainability manager to conduct an audit of the business’s effect on the environment.
The company now purchases enough energy credits from renewable sources every year to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from its energy use, and has sold enough wind energy credits from its three turbines to offset an additional 4.5 million miles of driving.
