This award recognizes their impressive sustainability achievements in areas such as landfill diversion, food-waste minimization, composting, recycling, energy and water conservation, and reducing the overall environmental impacts of doing business.
“We are thrilled to be a 2022 Sustainability Leadership Award winner. Our commitment to sustainability yields measurable successes for our green business, including the diversion of millions of pounds of waste away from landfills each year. Pete Pappas & Sons proudly sets an example in sustainable business practices for companies throughout Maryland and the fresh produce industry.” Says Helen Pappas, Director of Marketing and Sustainability.
The Maryland Green Registry recognizes organizations that have shown a strong commitment to the implementation of sustainable practices, the demonstration of measurable results and the continual improvement of environmental performance with the leadership awards.
Stavros Tzamaras, Sales and Marketing coordinator, says “Sustainability has become an important part of our daily work-lives. It echoes everywhere from the produce that we sell each day, to our on-site employee practices. Every day we use compostable kitchen items, reusable water bottles and lunch coolers, and even compost our meal leftovers. The company encourages us to go green with them.”
