OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

Our Environment
We are committed to protecting and respecting the environment. As a manufacturer and distributor of food products, our use of hazardous materials is unavoidable. It is, however, our policy to fully comply with all environmental laws. Hazardous materials must be stored properly to ensure contact with the environment is minimized and limited to established and accepted circumstances. All generated wastes must be stored as required by law, and recycled or disposed of at facilities approved by both our Company and the government.

Additionally, we must regularly conduct inspections of various systems located at our plants and facilities to ensure compliance with EPA laws and regulations. For example, many of our plants use ammonia in their refrigeration systems. If released into the air, ammonia can be very dangerous; therefore, we must conduct inspections of ammonia levels in our refrigeration systems to ensure compliance with EPA laws and regulations. If you are involved with or responsible for conducting such inspections, you must adhere to these laws and regulations, as well as our policies and inspection procedures.

We require you to always provide truthful and accurate information to government authorities regarding all environmental matters.

As a responsible corporate citizen, we encourage you to look for opportunities to improve our environmental performance.

Safe Driving
We have one of the largest distribution networks in the beverage industry. This means our trucks are on the road every day delivering products to grocery stores, warehouses, restaurants and schools. Our drivers must drive safely and in accordance with the law.
