Frontier Co-op was built on the belief that we have a responsibility to people and planet. Every day, we make a conscious effort to be mindful of our actions and the impact we have on our world.

PROTECTING PEOPLE and PLANET
At Frontier Co-op, we believe that we have a responsibility to people and planet. We are committed to addressing the impact we have on our world, and conducting business in a way that minimizes our environmental footprint. As a part of our environmental sustainability efforts, we are committed to the diversion of at least 90% of our waste from landfill, and minimizing our emissions footprint through the use of renewable energy. Any energy used in our facilities that we are not able to generate through our on-site solar arrays (Scope II emissions) are offset each year through the purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs), and our indirect carbon emissions (Scope I and a portion of Scope III) will be offset through the purchase of verified emission reductions (VERs). While being mindful of our operational footprint is important, we believe that the greatest impact we can have on our environment is the conversion of our consumers to organics. We are advocates of sustainable and organic agriculture and believe in the importance of restoring our soil rather than depleting it. We pledge to continually strive to improve our environmental sustainability practices, and will encourage our suppliers and vendors domestically and around the world to do the same.
