BOSTON (Jan. 14, 2015)—Dole & Bailey now has over 100 products that meet the Green Restaurant Association’s rigorous environmental certification standards, making it the only distributor in the United States to be a Green Restaurant Distributor. The Green Restaurant Association is a national nonprofit organization helping restaurants to become more environmentally sustainable. That means that restaurants will be able to go to Dole & Bailey’s website and see:

    All of the sustainable food options listed in one place
    The environmental certifications that each food option meets
    The GreenPoints™ that each food option can earn a restaurant towards becoming a Certified Green Restaurant®. 

This offers the restaurant transparency and reliability, making it easy for the restaurateur to know which products are actually green and why.  It also offers peace of mind and clarity to Dole & Bailey’s sales team to have all the sustainable food and green products vetted by the Green Restaurant Association… and all the products listed in one place.

"We are proud of Dole & Bailey's commitment to carry over 100 items that meet one of the Green Restaurant Association's environmental standards," said Michael Oshman, CEO and Founder of the Green Restaurant Association.  "It's one thing for a business to make vague environmental claims.  It's quite another for a company like Dole & Bailey to open up all their purchasing to a nonprofit organization, so that we can make it easy for restaurants all over the Northeast to purchase in a more environmentally sustainable manner. That is transparency. That is sustainability."
