The term "Organic" differs greatly from state to state.

Also, who wouldn't run their business in a 'sustainable' manner? If a company doesn't make money, there are a couple of reasons. Perhaps no one knows about the company, so they have to increase public awareness through various marketing avenues or perhaps their product just plain sucks. In this current pile-of-sh*t economic climate, where there is no light at the end of the tunnel, in speaking with many other sauce companies over the past couple years, many are doing quite well financially. I blame it on people getting back to basics. Not as many are eating at restaurants, preferring to eat at home. No one can afford a new house or a car, but they sure can afford a $5 bottle of hot sauce to accentuate their home-cooked meal.

Why would someone purposely run an 'unsustainable' company? It seems like kind of a complete waste of time.
 
Ya the sustainable part confuses me too. Are you maybe refering to sustainable farming practices vs. corporate farming?
 
I think it refers to environmentally sustainable, I.e. is the company using environmentally friendly methods and resources.
 
Thanks for your help so far! And to clear things up, by sustainability I mean running business in a way that it causes the least environmental impact possible(People, Planet, Profit).

Does that mean the company buys "carbon footprint off-set" bonds or do they take their empty cardboard boxes (from all the cases of hot sauce that have been shipped out in other cardboard boxes as singles.....) to the recycle center?
 
You're getting pretty specific there salsalady. I don't think the poll refers to any one company, just the general principles of how they do their business. Green or not green.
 
sorry, don't mean to get too specific. And don't want to side-track the poll. I just wondered if those carbon-footprint offset things are included as a "green business practice". Didn't word that very well-
