Sustainable Business Practices
Treasure Mills have always strived to embrace sustainable business practices. We measure this through our everyday practices.
From sourcing ingredients, sustainable waste management, plastic reduction goals, to helping outside organizations reach their goals of making the world a better place.
Education and Development
The pandemic affected everyone, especially the young minds that suddenly found themselves schooling at home. Teachers are amazing but not every child is suited to learn from home. Our Snacksmarter campaign was aimed directly at kids in need of more support. We were able to provide students with over 500+ hours of tutoring support to help our future leaders get back on the learning curve!
