Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Sustainability Actions

Responsible sourcing model

The Fellowship Model stems from our goal to build a continuously improving supply chain that not only drives high standards of quality, but also contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world. We achieve this goal by partnering with people who provide the best products and services we can find, and who are socially responsible, environmentally adept, and conscious of human rights.

Minimizing supply chain impact

Practicing responsible sourcing allows us to:● Understand and minimize our carbon footprint● Support strong recycling practices and reduce landfilled materials ● Partner with suppliers of environmentally friendly products● Partner with suppliers who have third-party certifications guaranteeing fair trade practices and human rights best practices● Prioritize working with independently owned suppliers who are smaller, family-owned, women-owned, or minority-owned ● Support local businesses and carbon footprint initiatives by working with suppliers located as close as possible to our production partners ● Prioritize partnerships with suppliers who have their own Supplier Code of Conduct or who agree to ours

Annual supply chain reviews

To ensure we’re meeting our responsible sourcing goals, we conduct regular (at least annual) reviews of our supply chain. These reviews are based on guidelines related to our B Corp* status and recertification requirements, and consider business needs, pricing, availability, community and environmental initiatives, and continuous improvement.

Waste and packaging reduction

Common topics for our supply chain reviews include:●Waste Reduction: We encourage our partners to engage in waste reduction best practices and, where possible, to share those practices with other suppliers. ●Packaging Reduction: We consider our partners’ ongoing efforts to reduce or eliminate packaging to benefit the environment and reduce costs.

Sustainable shipping practices

Common topics for our supply chain reviews include:●Sustainable Shipping: We consider our partners’ efforts to reuse pallets and other shipping materials, including participation in “share and reuse” programs like CHEPS.

TraceGains platform use

Common topics for our supply chain reviews include:●TraceGains: We review our own investment in TraceGains, our online platform for managing supplier documents related to quality, food safety, sustainability, and other critical practices.
