Economic achievements
SDBC seeks to increase profits through stewardship of resources and improvements in the taste, healthiness, and packaging of their products.
Recycling efforts are a revenue stream
Introduced three new products that they believe will help increase revenue and volume as consumers become aware of and purchase them: SunnyD pouches geared toward the lunchbox occasion; SunnyD Chillers to satisfy consumers during thirstquenching occasions; and Sparkling Fruit2O to provide consumers with the excitement of carbonation married with natural fruit flavors and a trusted brand name.
Significantly increased the use of aseptic packaging capability – a process generating great tasting, preservative free products.
