Food Tank’s Sold-Out NYC Summit on Food Waste

When conferences are sold out it's usually because attendees expect that presenters, panelists, and org's will provide a unique and valuable experience. Yesterdays NYC Summit on Food Waste hosted by Food Tank is no exception. Not only did they sell out and were at capacity, they also streamed the whole event live with much praise and traffic (70,000 viewers?!!!). A very successful event, for a very important cause.

The Summit was a collection of those working on the forefront of food waste prevention.

As a result of that live stream, Food Tank has recorded and posted the whole proceedings on the YouTube video below.

I’m a customer that just came in for a tour, “What is B Corp?” and “Why did you choose to become involved?”
A B-Corp is a Benefit Corporation, meaning a business that chooses to act as a force for good in the world. As a Certified B-Corporation, Beau’s meets higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We chose to become a B Corp for a number of reasons – to set an achievable example for other businesses, to give our customers the assurance of a third-party endorsement of our commitment to social good and the environment, and to help us build a roadmap for sustainable growth as a brewery.

I'm very proud to announce that SJMC has been chosen to provide Mainstem Malt with Sustainability Management Services. The main goal will be to develop the internal systems necessary to achieve B Corp Certification status. Mainstem brings malt users the ability to purchase locally malted grains from family farmers with a conservation ethic, which helps to relocalize of grain economies.

SJMC has launched online sales of the Bin Calibration Form. This was recently only available to my customers but I've been able to come up with a way to keep it broad enough to accommodate most businesses needs and help them identify their true bin service requirements.
