Los Angeles-based premium ice cream, frozen novelty and dairy-free dessert company with products available in 6,000 retail outlets nationwide.
Background: Los Angeles-based Coolhaus was founded in 2009 by Natasha Case and Freya Estreller, producing premium ice cream pints, sandwiches, cones and cups, along with dairy-free desserts and novelties. Today, the brand can be found in 6,000 retail outlets, as well as a stand-alone shop in Culver City, California, along with ice cream trucks in Los Angeles and New York City.
Why we started a sustainability program: We really kick-started our sustainability initiative around 2015. One of the things that got the ball rolling was making our headquarters a green-certified office experience. Once we received certification for that, our efforts expanded into our packaging and non-GMO ingredients. Our goal to be a more sustainable brand is continuous, and we plan to take things further in the next few years.
