Flanagan Customers Lead the Way in Sustainability with Cascades Pro Impact Certificate

Flanagan Foodservice is proud to share that we’ve received a 2024 sustainable Impact Certificate from Cascades PRO, an achievement made possible entirely by our customers’ ongoing commitment to responsible sourcing.

This certificate isn’t just a milestone for us, it’s a reflection of the incredible impact that Flanagan customers are making across the foodservice industry. By choosing to purchase Cascade Pro sustainable tissue and paper products manufactured primarily from recycled fibers, our customers are leading the charge in reducing environmental impact across Canada.

For years, Flanagan Foodservice has partnered with Cascades to support a Canadian-owned business and offer eco-friendly paper solutions. But it’s our customers who have turned these choices into meaningful action. In 2024, by opting for these products, Flanagan customers significantly contributed to preserving natural resources and lowering emissions, outperforming the North American average in key sustainability measures.

Together, here’s the environmental impact our customers made possible:

Gave a second life to 822 metric tons of recycled fibers, saving the equivalent of 13,977 trees
Avoided using 26,153 cubic metres of water, the same volume as 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools
Reduced greenhouse gas emission by 460 metric tons of CO2, equal to 10 one-way flights between Toronto and Vancouver
Saved 7,217 gigajoules of energy, enough to power 75 Canadian households for a year

These results are more than just numbers, they’re a testament to the values shared by Flanagan, Cascades and Flanagan customers: responsibility, innovation and leadership in sustainability.

“Together, we’ve made measurable strides toward reducing our environmental footprint,” said the letter from Cascades Pro. “Thanks to your commitment, we’ve preserved trees, conserved water, reduced CO2 emissions and saved energy. These results exceed the North American average.”

At Flanagan Foodservice, we believe in empowering our customers with products that align with their values and support their business goals. We’re inspired every day by their dedication to making smarter, more sustainable choices for their operations, their communities, and the planet.

We extend our sincerest thanks to our customers for making this recognition possible.
