The Official Dancing Deer Baking Co. Blog

We’re one of the first graduates from the Sustainable Business Leader Program (SBLP), a 6 step program that assists participating companies in the Greater Boston area making changes in their business practices in the following areas:

• Energy Efficiency
• Water Conservation
• Waste Management
• Pollution Prevention & Safe Alternatives
• Transportation
• Sustainability Management

So what does that mean for Dancing Deer?? Through SBLP and initiatives we had already put in place before joining the program we’ve done the following:

• Our entire operations facility and office use energy saving T5 fluorescent lights, and in our operating facility all of those lights are set to an occupancy sensor so they automatically turn off when not in use.
• All of our toilets, sink faucets and showers are low flow.
• We use low toxicity and green cleaning products in the entire facility.
• We always try to work with local vendors to purchase local ingredients when possible.
• We use all 100% post-consumer recycled paper towel, toilet paper and printing paper
• Use a co-mingled recycling dumpster that allows us to recycle paper, plastic and metal all together
