Stater Bros. Supermarkets
All Stater Bros. Supermarkets have been built or retrofitted with energy efficient roofs, energy management systems and other measures resulting in reduced carbon dioxide emissions comparable to removing more than 3,000 automobiles off the road each year.
By participating in the State of California’s voluntary Demand Response Program, minor reductions in lighting, air conditioning and other equipment at Stater Bros. Supermarkets save enough energy to power 4,200 California homes each year. All new Stater Bros. Supermarkets incorporate green building measures including natural day lighting, a secondary refrigeration system, high efficiency lighting, recycled building materials and energy efficient equipment. In addition Stater Bros. customers will find many eco-friendly products and packaging, recycling centers, and the company’s largest grocery bag is now made with 100% recycled paper.
The new 2.3 million sq. ft. Stater Bros. Corporate Offices and Distribution Center campus has many green building measures, such as a lighting control system, energy efficient window coatings and over 1,000 skylights that reduce daytime power usage. With the Stater Bros. Distribution Center under one roof, Stater Bros. has experienced significant fuel savings. The company also encourages and promotes ridesharing and has various employee start times to reduce traffic congestion while also reducing fuel usage by all.
Stater Bros. was founded in 1936 in Yucaipa, California, and has grown steadily through the years to become the largest privately owned Supermarket Chain in Southern California and the largest private employer in both San Bernardino County and Riverside County, with annual sales in 2009 of $3.77 billion. The Company currently operates 167 Supermarkets, and there are over 19,000 members of the Stater Bros. Supermarket Family.
Last year, Stater Bros. donated more than $14 million in support of nonprofit organizations in the communities it serves and is the proud recipient of the “2010 Community Service Award” from America’s Supermarket Industry.
Stater Bros. has long supported preserving our environment — from saving the Arrowhead Symbol in the San Bernardino Mountains to planting One Million Trees in California State Parks. The Stater Bros. “Family” is building a better tomorrow for all.

DASANI®
Like all beverages produced by The Coca-Cola Company, Dasani is manufactured and packaged according to strict safety and quality requirements. In addition to local, state, and federal regulations, the Coca-Cola system requires certain global operating standards through The Coca-Cola Management System, which helps ensure quality in everything we do.
In designing Dasani to be the best tasting water, Coca-Cola bottlers start with the local water supply, which is then filtered to remove impurities.The purified water is then enhanced with a special blend of minerals for a pure, crisp, fresh taste.
Now the pure, fresh taste of Dasani water comes in our innovative packaging called PlantBottle — a bottle made from up to 30% plant-based materials, still designed to be 100% recyclable. PlantBottle is the latest step Dasani is taking as part of The Coca-Cola Company's overall effort to lessen our footprint for the greater good. Through the Give it Back® Recycling Education Program, RecycleBank, and the creation of one of the world's largest recycling plants, we're striving to reach an end goal where our packaging is no longer seen as waste, but as a valuable resource for future use.
