Baskin-Robbins believes that being a good corporate citizen is good business. They set sustainability goals to make continuous progress in the areas of responsible sourcing, sustainable packaging, energy efficiency, waste reduction, animal welfare, nutrition and other issues and have made important progress toward these goals. Sustainability is a journey, and they are committed to continued progress under their three pillars: Sustainable Food, Sustainable Restaurants, and Sustainable Communities.

Sustainable Food

Menu Quality & Choice: They’ve removed artificial dyes from ice cream and beverages and introduced vegan and non-dairy options like oat milk-based flavors.

Dairy Sustainability: They partner with the Dairy Sustainability Alliance and require milk suppliers to avoid artificial growth hormones.

Animal Welfare: Their policy ensures the humane treatment of animals in the supply chain, with clear expectations for suppliers.

Sustainable Restaurants

Sustainable Packaging: 85% of Baskin-Robbins packaging is recyclable, renewable, or certified.

Spoon Transition: Switched to polypropylene spoons, reducing waste by over 17,000 lbs annually.

Plastic Alternatives: Committed to finding sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics, like straws.

Water Conservation: Testing more efficient scoop washers to reduce water usage.

Sustainable Communities

Energy & Climate: Baskin-Robbins has worked to reduce its environmental impact, achieving a 60% reduction in GHG emissions since 2013.

Philanthropy: Franchisees support many non-profits, including participating in the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl to raise money for cancer research, contributing over $6.7 million since 1983.
