Partner Statement
“McLane was honored to be chosen as a finalist for PHA’s Partner of the Year Award for 2018. PHA’s initiatives to help end childhood obesity are innovative and accessible for families, and McLane is delighted to spread the word to our teammates, customers and consumers nationwide.
"McLane’s commitment to PHA includes a wide range of supply chain solutions that make it easier for stores to stock products that meet PHA’s Healthier Food and Beverage Product Criteria. In 2017 alone, McLane distributed 1.325 billion pounds of fruits and vegetables to foodservice and grocery retailers. McLane also extends discounts to customers on PHA-approved products, including better-for-you product bundles every quarter, and creates and distributes planograms featuring these products. McLane’s control label subsidiary, Consumer Value Products (CVP), continues to develop healthier new products that meet PHA’s criteria and offers retailer promotion materials for PHA’s signature programs, FNV (Fruits and Vegetables) and Drink Up, which promotes drinking more water.
"McLane encourages its teammates to make healthy lifestyle choices and is expanding beyond the scope of its commitment by offering tips and recipes in its internal teammate magazine, as well as distributing healthier food catering guides to implement at company meetings and events.”
