our commitment to the communities we serve
FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Social, economic and environmental efforts must be mutually supported for a company to be truly sustainable. Our work to give back to the community is as important as our ongoing commitment toward preserving the environment.
SOCIAL
- We donate thousands of pounds of product to local food banks and charities
- We support local sports leagues and community clubs with financial contributions and volunteer participation
- Offer intercompany scholarships for BrucePac families for higher education
- Train and reward staff for environmental awareness efforts
- Maintain an exceptional workplace safety record and positive work environment
ECONOMIC
- Provide jobs that support local small business and industry
- Use local suppliers for many raw ingredients and facility needs
- Employ hundreds of people in each community and growing
ENVIROMENTAL
- 10% of power is from renewable sources, including solar power
- Implemented operational changes to cut energy and reduce waste
- Reduced electric energy use by 3.5% in 2024 through the Energy Trust of Oregon’s Strategic Energy Management Program, with an additional 2% reduction projected for 2025
- Our Oregon facility is 100% landfill free, recycling every material possible. Anything not reused of recycled is sent to a waste-to-energy plant, converting power back into the electric grid
- Our facility in Oklahoma recycles and reuses biomaterial for agricultural fertilizer as we work towards achieving our zero-landfill goal there, too
BrucePac is recognized for our sustainable practices.
Our continuing dedication to shrink our carbon footprint and improve sustainability practices is ongoing and ingrained into our culture and business model. This commitment has been recognized by prestigious independent third-party organizations such as Oregon Tilth®.
