Our Business Processes

Examples of processes that have been adopted at NEB: 

• NEB utilizes a 100% recyclable shipping box for cold chain shipping, and offers carbon neutral shipments.
• The NEB food service purchases local produce whenever possible. Composting in the NEB cafe diverts as much as 75% of the cafe waste away from landfills
• The janitorial staff uses environmentally friendly cleaning reagents 
• In the warm-weather months, employees can take advantage of a farm stand brought to the NEB campus, offering organically grown produce
• Employees are able to purchase reusable market bags produced from recycled plastic 
• NEB has partnered with MassRIDES to help employees search for alternative ways to get to work 
• Premier parking for employees who carpool, as well as safe storage for bicycles are available
• Employees can also take advantage of a “community service day”, which allows them the opportunity to volunteer for the organization of their choice without having to use personal time 
• Outside speakers are often invited to educate employees on conservation methods
