what does it mean to be green?
We have been recognized by Denver Environmental Health as a Certified Green Business. We are proud of our commitment to environmental sustainability.

energy efficiency
Our plant uses LED lights throughout our offices and warehouse. Nest thermostats monitor the temperature within the office areas and plant. Energy-efficient compressors are utilized in all freezers and coolers to reduce our energy consumption.
Water conservation
Certifiably Green Denver provided high-efficiency toilets, and low-flow attachments were installed in most sinks.
Resource management
All our copy paper is 100% recycled. Toner cartridges and all cardboard are recycled when empty. Recycle bins are placed throughout the facility. Also, refillable spray bottles are provided throughout the facility. Our office doors were constructed out of reclaimed wood, and our conference tables were once the front doors to the old Coors Mansion.
All soon-to-be-expired products are donated to We Don’t Waste and other Denver local nonprofits to help families in need within the local community.
Alternative transportation
We provide free RTD bus passes to our employees so they can take advantage of Denver’s public transportation system.
Business management
We are committed to working with Certifiably Green Denver to remain CGD compliant year round.
Composting
Composting allows us to responsibly manage food scraps, reduce landfill waste, and support a more sustainable food system. It’s one of the many ways Polidori Sausage is committed to doing the right thing for our community and environment.
