This remarkable accomplishment sets us apart in the industry, reflecting our unwavering commitment to excellence. Additionally, our vigilant compliance team, consisting of at least two employees, stays abreast of regulatory and labeling requirements, while regular communication with our customers allows us to adapt swiftly to their evolving needs and specifications

The name “Colony Products” holds a historical significance, rooted in the collaborative spirit of pioneering bakers seeking the perfect product despite dominant market forces. The term “Colony” itself, tracing its origins to the 1400s, encapsulates the essence of farming, acknowledging our deep gratitude to the roots from which our journey began.

Sustainability

Commitment to Sustainable Sourcing and Manufacturing

At the core of our values lies a profound commitment to sustainability, and this ethos extends throughout our entire business ecosystem. We meticulously select plant-based oil ingredients, ensuring they are responsibly sourced from companies that share our dedication to environmental preservation. By prioritizing suppliers that value re-planting initiatives and actively minimize their impact on ecosystems, we contribute to a supply chain that aligns with our long-term vision of a greener, healthier planet. Our focus on sustainable sourcing underscores our responsibility to provide products that not only meet rigorous quality standards but also leave a minimal environmental footprint.

Ethical Standards and Certifiable Products

Maintaining the highest ethical standards is non-negotiable in our journey towards sustainability. To ensure the integrity of our supply chain, we mandate all vendors to adhere to best business practices and sign a commitment statement to ethical standards. This stringent vetting process guarantees that every product we offer is certifiable and capable of meeting our rigorous sustainability standards. Our customers can trust that each item they choose from us is not only of the highest quality but also aligns with their values of supporting environmentally responsible practices.

Innovative Practices and Community Impact

In our pursuit of sustainability, innovation plays a pivotal role. We continuously explore ways to reduce our environmental impact and encourage responsible consumption. Our 2022 investment in upgraded wash and sanitation station improvements stands as a testament to this commitment, significantly reducing the amount of water used by our business. Furthermore, our dedication to a circular economy is exemplified through our return program, offering incentives for customers to opt for reusable containers cleaned to food-grade standards within our facility. Beyond our operations, we extend the life cycle of our products, contributing recycled oils to companies involved in making bio-diesel, animal feed, and sustainable products like roof tiles. 

Moreover, drums that can’t be used in-house find purpose in the hands of local farmers and artists, fostering rainwater collection, creating feed troughs, building crop watering systems, and inspiring sustainable art through upcycling. This multifaceted approach demonstrates our holistic commitment to sustainability, from sourcing and manufacturing to community impact and innovative practices.
