Being the first company on Vancouver Island to purchase Class VIII Envirotrucks and Envirotrailers has made Paradise Island Foods Inc. a leader in Green Food Production and Distribution.

Paradise Island Foods takes pride in our ability to deliver efficient, dependable and quality distribution service to our customers in a cost-effective manner. Unfortunately due to the escalating prices of fuel, we have found it necessary to implement a floating fuel surcharge on our distribution services. Our customers are then forced to pass these costs onto all consumers who buy groceries from their stores. This has a direct impact on all of our families. Some folks may say that there is nothing they can do to control their fuel costs – we say there is. Although we cannot directly impact actual fuel pricing, we think we can certainly do something to reduce the amount of fuel that we use, and ultimately reduce our costs. Using less fuel not only cuts the cost to the consumer, but also results in less emissions into the environment as well.

Numerous “Green” initiatives have been undertaken in all areas of the company to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure that we are making environmentally responsible decisions every day to move our business forward and provide the best possible quality and service to our customers.

The Paradise Island Foods Sales team has changed over from small SUV’s to  Toyota Camry hybrid vehicles. The net fuel savings has been approximately 50 percent!
