Stock the Office Snack Pantry with Ethically-Sourced Products

Stock the Office Snack Pantry with Ethically-Sourced Products

Having a well-stocked office snack pantry is essential for keeping employees fueled and focused throughout the workday. It's equally important to ensure that the products we provide are ethically sourced, meaning that they have been produced in a way that is socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. Every single choice an organization makes is a chance to display its values, so what seems like a fairly innocuous choice – choosing snacks for your break room – can actually be a great opportunity to show employees and clients what you believe in.

Why Choose Ethical Products?

By stocking the office snack cupboard with ethically sourced products, you can not only support ethical businesses but also promote a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for your employees. We see that as a win/win! Here are some tips on how to do it. 

Look for certifications: When choosing snacks for the office, look for certifications that indicate the product has been ethically sourced. Fair Trade Certified and other certified foods are held to high standards to ensure that the products have been produced in a way that supports fair labor practices and protects the environment. For example, farmers and producers are paid a set minimum wage, and products that use certain unsustainable production methods cannot obtain a certification.

Choose local products: Whenever possible, choose locally sourced products for your office snack cupboard. Not only does this support local businesses and reduce your carbon footprint, but it also ensures that the products are fresher and of higher quality. There are plenty of great Minnesota small businesses that offer ethical and delicious snacks!

Choose eco-friendly packaging: Opt for snacks that come in reusable, compostable, or recyclable packaging, such as glass jars or paper bags. Avoid individually wrapped snacks or products that come in non-recyclable packaging to minimize your office’s impact on the environment.

Provide healthy options: In addition to being ethically sourced, the snacks in your office cupboard should also be healthy and nutritious. Provide a variety of options, such as fresh or dried fruit, nuts, and whole-grain crackers, and avoid overly processed snacks. This will show employees that you’re willing to go the extra mile to offer them snacks that are better for their health. 

Keep your employees in the loop: Make sure to educate your employees on the choices the company is making to ensure that the most ethically sourced products end up in the break room cupboards. Provide information on the certifications you look for when choosing snacks, and encourage your employees to offer suggestions about other steps you can take to create a more ethical and environmentally friendly workplace.

By stocking the office snack cupboard with ethically sourced products, you can positively impact the lives of your employees and local ethical small business owners. Additionally, your choices can promote a healthier and more sustainable workplace.
