“Good intentions are not enough. Impact must be designed, measured, & governed.”
Torani, maker of premium syrups and sauces for hot coffee, cool drinks, and ice cream, reflects both powerful financial success and truly socially responsible business decisions. Founded in 1925 in San Francisco, Torani has grown impressively in 100 years to 400+ team members and $650 million in revenue. Torani became a certified BCorp in 2019, and a read through their most recent Impact Report displays a deep commitment to community and employees. It also reflects their wise environmental stewardship:
“Before there is flavor, there is water. Before there is growth, there is responsibility. We rely on shared natural resources, and that reliance demands discipline, transparency, and care. Stewardship is how we honor what makes our work possible.”
Torani operationalizes those words of wisdom with smart metrics, stating, ”Good intentions are not enough. Impact must be designed, measured, and governed.” Climate Positive wholeheartedly agrees. Among the key metrics they measure are carbon emissions, energy, waste, and water. In 2025, Torani dropped total energy use by 2%, despite growing sales volume by 24%. (It’s not unusual for this company to grow 20% per year!). Other environmental wins were boosting the percentage of product packaging that is recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 18%, and continuing to transition their fleet of forklifts to electric power.
Flavor-seekers enjoying a coffee drink or ice cream elevated with Torani are enjoying a a truly tasteful treat.
