We’re committed to working towards a greener, more sustainable future every day, in every store. With the help of our Sustainability Coordinator and Green Guru team, we’re constantly improving our environmental impact through eco-friendly actions like reducing water and energy usage, recycling, diverting food waste, donating to local nonprofits and more. It’s not always easy being green, but it sure is worth it!
Sustainability is so important to us here at Nugget Markets, we have our very own Sustainability Coordinator! We’re excited to introduce Danielle M. from our Davis (Mace) store who stepped into this important role at the end of last year. As an experienced Green Guru, she has already made a tremendous impact and looks forward to growing our sustainability program even more in her new role.
At Nugget Markets, we work hard to SEE* sustainability every day, and we’re not the only ones! We partner with some truly amazing companies who strive to create conscientious products, decrease their ecological footprint and give back to our communities. Thanks to their dedication to caring for people and the planet, we can celebrate sustainability in all its forms by supporting big-hearted brands like these!
It’s that time of year again! Earth Day is celebrated globally on April 22 to bring awareness and support our environments, but we’re not stopping there… Here at Nugget Markets, we’re celebrating all month long!
December is a time to look back at the year and acknowledge our achievements, and it’s a time to look forward to the future and think about setting new goals. It’s also a chance to take a historical look at where we’ve been, which is why we’re proud to present how far Nugget Markets’ extraordinary Sustainability Program has come since it began six years ago!
As anybody in California knows, water is a scarce and expensive resource. This has been especially evident with some of the worst drought and fires on record and historical rainfall and flooding. Here at Nugget Markets, we work with a water conservation mindset and host many best practices that safeguard this natural resource.
In 1979, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) founded World Food Day on October 16. If Earth Day is a call to action to take care of our earth, then World Food Day is a call to action to combat hunger!
September is Food Literacy Month here in the Sacramento Valley! We try to SEE sustainability every day within our stores, and we always love to support organizations working on enhancing food literacy in our communities. Now’s the perfect time to celebrate some of our amazing local partners in sustainability!
At Nugget Markets, we want you to feel good about the groceries you purchase at our stores AND how you take them home. As we phase back in the use of reusable bags at our checkstands and in produce, we want you to know what your options are when you check out. That’s why we’re excited to begin offering Ocean Plastic bags at our checkstands!
Summer is here, and that means warm sun, sandy beaches and that nostalgic smell of sunscreen. This month, we’re using the beautiful California sunshine as an excuse to show ourselves some summer lovin’! See how you can join the fun with a little summer-inspired self-care.
