Paradise Island Foods
has taken a keen interest in becoming “Green” leader in the food production and distribution industry.

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 energy prices of fuel, the cost of business is be pushed higher. Higher costs mean that 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 energy pricing, we think we can certainly do something to reduce the amount of energy that we use, and ultimately reduce our costs. Using less energy not only cuts the cost to the consumer, but also results in less emissions into the environment as well. This is both good for the environment and good for business!

We have undertaken a series of in depth energy audits on our facility to understand exactly how much energy we use and how to creatively reduce our overall consumption and become as carbon neutral as possible. A few things that we have implemented or are in the process of installing:

  • Achieved BC Organic certification in 2007 (environmentally friendly  processes and chemicals)
  • Turn down heater thermostats (reduce gas consumption)
  • Programmable thermostats (reduce gas consumption)
  • Replace all lighting with new high efficiency lighting (reduce electricity consumption)
  • Lighting motion detector switches (reduce electricity consumption)
  • All electric forklift equipment (reduce emissions)
  • On demand hot water heaters (reduce energy consumption)
  • Hybrid reefer trailers (reduce overall noise in the  neighborhood = Happy neighbors)
  • Hydraulic dock plate conversions (reduced dock plate noise)
  • Completed energy audits in 2009 with BC Food Processor’s Association, BC Hydro and Shore Energy Systems.
