Question: How are you supporting other local businesses?
Answer: It only makes sense to use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. In doing so, we are able to consistently achieve that fresh, quality taste that is so beloved by our customers.We work with about 25 local suppliers. Almost 100% of our ingredients – from flour to fruit and eggs and meat is supplied by B.C. suppliers, and the rest are from Canada. We also support local business service providers. About 90% of our services like accounting, bookkeeping, banking, media (advertising, etc.), repair & maintenance, and employee benefits are from B.C. based businesses, and the remaining 10% are from Canadian suppliers.
Question: What social and environmental practices are you proud of?
Answer: We are committed to supporting our community, and we provide many donations to local charities. We donate more than 3% of our annual revenue to community charities. We are also making progress to reduce our environmental footprint. We are proud to be part of the Burnaby Board of Trade Environmental Pledge Program that encourages businesses to implement tips to reduce their impact in the areas of energy, water, travel, waste and purchasing. In fact, we were the first business in Burnaby to sign on to the pledge!
