Partner Profile Clif Bar Inc., a 2003 & 2004 Green Power Leadership Award winner, is a Berkeley, California-based producer of all-natural organic energy and nutrition foods. A commitment to taking responsibility for their climate footprint is at the heart of their green power purchasing strategy. The company purchases RECs to offset the CO2 emissions generated by energy use beyond just electricity. They are currently offsetting energy use by their offices, fleet and by business travel. In addition they offset emissions from their supply chain, specifically by the bakeries and by shipping product from the bakeries to the customers. Since joining the EPA Green Power Partnership, Clif Bar's purchase of RECs has increased as production has grown and has also increased as they expanded the scope of emissions they choose to offset. In 2007 Clif Bar purchased their highest quantity of RECs to offset their historical carbon footprint dating back to the company's start in 1992.
