Bobo's, known for oat bars, oat bites and baked goods, announced its new partnership with Rabobank's Acorn initiative (Acorn) to help Colorado's snack brand reach its carbon neutrality goals and further invest in a more sustainable future. Bobo's purchase of carbon removal units to offset its bakery carbon emissions is helping to combat climate change. It does so by leveraging Acorn's new and powerful approach to carbon sequestering working with thousands of smallholder farmers using agroforestry. In this case, Bobo's removal credits will be supporting agroforestry practices for local coffee farmers in Tanzania.
Since its inception in 2003, Bobo's has remained committed to responsible and sustainable business practices that have a positive impact on the environment and community. The company prioritizes responsibly sourced ingredients and packaging when producing its wildly popular baked goods only partnering with ingredient suppliers who source ingredients with integrity. As much as possible, Bobo's uses paperboard and cartons that are certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. It also recently partnered with How2Recycle which uses a standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to Bobo's customers . The company strives to reduce its landfill footprint by 95%, partnering with ReConserve and local farmers to convert our bakery waste to animal feed and in 2022, Bobo's opened a brand new state-of-the-art super bakery in Loveland, CO 100% powered by wind energy.
