Sustainable Practices: How the Co-op Promotes Eco-Friendly Shopping
At Bay City Cooperative Market, our mission extends beyond providing healthy food at fair prices; we’re dedicated to fostering sustainable practices that benefit both our community and the environment.
1. Supporting Local and Regional Food Production
By prioritizing local and regional food producers, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. This commitment not only ensures fresher products but also supports the local economy and minimizes environmental impact.
2. Keeping Capital and Jobs in Our Region
Investing in local businesses and producers helps retain capital within our community, promoting economic stability and reducing the need for extensive transportation and packaging. This localized approach contributes to a more sustainable and resilient local economy.
3. Providing an Equitable and Rewarding Workplace
We strive to create a workplace that values equity and rewards employees fairly. By fostering a positive work environment, we encourage practices that are both socially and environmentally responsible, contributing to the overall sustainability of our operations.
