Social Concerns • How we operate with vendors in our supply chain • Farmers and sustaining livelihoods • Rural community benefits • Partnering with agricultural schools • Drawing attention to organic stores/cooperatives
Economic Concerns • How soon until profitability? • Managerial balance sheet & quarterly analyses • Adhering to governmental compliance • Utilizing the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
Impacts • No legal obligation to serve special interests • We understand how aggressive NGOs can be • State mandates can force payroll insurance funding • Good insurance retains good employees
Horizontal/Vertical Affects • Potentially have a test farm (for nitrogen levels) • Work with Kentucky agricultural school • Which retailers meet our sustainability standards • Require RFPs to include recycled content used • Successive generations find work at Gang Green?
Local Impacts • Reducing incidents of vandalism to greenhouses • Less stigma to tobacco farmers • Drought and uneven drying no longer concerns • No selling at deeply discounted prices • Labor initiatives undertaken by employees
