MANUFACTURER SPOTLIGHT
Clif Bar & Company
In 1990, Gary Erickson set off on a one-day, 175-mile bicycle ride with his buddy Jay. Halfway through the ride, exhausted and hungry, Gary realized that he just couldn’t eat another unappetizing, sticky, hard to digest energy bar. Then and there, in a moment he now calls “the epiphany,” the inspiration for the CLIF® BAR was born.
Gary named his creation CLIF BAR in honor of his father, Clifford, the man who introduced him to wilderness adventures and encouraged him to follow his passions in life.
In 1992, CLIF BAR was formally launched. Clif Bar & Company’s vision has always been to do business in a better way. Guided by Five
Aspirations, the company is on a journey towards long-term sustainability. Recognizing that organic farming protects the health of soil and water, preserves biodiversity and fights global warming, the company uses organic ingredients in all of its products.
Moving towards “zero waste,” the Company diverts approximately 70 percent of its office waste from local landfills through reduction, recycling and composting at its CA headquarters, where
the largest “smart” solar array in North America is anticipated to supply up to 100% of the building’s
electricity needs.
