5 <br />Bean Sprouts recycles and composts where host partners are set up to do so <br />Bean Sprouts does not use Food Packaging Chemicals (FPCs) <br />We complement our environmentally responsible and sustainable efforts with <br />high-quality ingredient guidelines that emphasize organic, hormone- and <br />antibiotic-free offerings. Organic production does not use environmentally <br />harmful chemicals that may stay on produce and contaminate rain and <br />groundwater. Organic farming also replenishes and maintains healthy, fertile <br />topsoil with rich biological matter, which limits erosion and impact on waterways. <br />We do not cook with grease so no need for grease disposal. <br />Bean Sprouts works with local businesses whenever possible. When it is necessary <br />to work with larger national companies to support our cafés, we opt for suppliers <br />who have sustainable, ethical, and low-impact practices. <br /> <br />We stay up-to-date on environmental best practices and products in our <br />industry by attending and speaking at various conferences and shows including <br />Natural Products Expo, Restaurant Leadership Conference, Fast Casual <br />Executive Summit and Healthy Child, Healthy World events. <br />ix. Marketing <br />Bean Sprouts has vast experience developing marketing materials, including <br />graphics, menus, and signage. We use top designers who have worked on <br />many family-focused brands such as American Girl. We work closely with our <br />host partners to make sure all Bean Sprouts’ materials and signage align with <br />their overall brand and vision. <br />We will continue to work closely with the Santa Ana Zoo management team to <br />be aware of special events where Bean Sprouts can participate. For example, <br />we have a vendor who can make themed cookies so we can have speciality <br />cookies with the opening of the new exhibits (think cute otter cookies)! <br />Bean Sprouts was recently recognized as a “Top 100 Mover & Shaker” once <br />again in the restaurant industry by Fast Casual Magazine. Its Do-Re-For-Me <br />sandwich has been named as Best Kids’ Meal in the U.S. by the National <br />Restaurant Association (NRA) & the KidsLiveWell initiative. Additionally, the co- <br />founders have been to the White House to share ideas of how to make <br />wholesome kids’ food more appealing in the food industry. <br />Bean Sprouts’ national accolades make a nice splash in the local markets and <br />at the family destinations Bean Sprouts serves. Our relationships with local media <br />and leading parenting and travel bloggers can garner lots of positive attention <br />for your locale. <br />PROPRIETARY - DO NOT RELEASE TO PUBLIC
