The leading grocery sustainability program in North America
Manomet’s Grocery Stewardship Certification (GSC) program helps food retailers save money and resources by increasing operational sustainability. The program gives you the tools to reduce overhead costs, boost employee engagement, and benchmark store performance without needing to make major capital investments.
More than 800 grocery stores are already enrolled in the GSC, making it the leading grocery sustainability program in the U.S. The GSC helps corporate and store-level staff analyze store-level practices and equipment and identify no-cost and low-cost strategies for boosting revenue, increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste, and lowering costs.
While there are several programs that focus on the performance of certain ‘flagship’ stores, Manomet’s GSC program is the only sustainability certification program to reduce costs, engage employees and boost energy efficiency in all of your stores.
