Climate Wise : Conservation International : Wind Power

Rodelle is a product of Custom Blending, Inc. Established in 1984, Custom Blending was founded with the commitment to conduct business with the highest degree of ethics and integrity.  As our company has grown so has our commitment to conduct business responsibly. 
 
Today, our mission is to conduct business with the highest degree of ethics and integrity to provide consistent, uncompromising quality and outstanding service while conserving natural resources and supporting communities where we do business. 
 
Our commitment starts with our own employees and facility and extends into communities where we do business.  For over 25 years, we have extended our corporate giving to myriad organizations in Northern Colorado, including The Food Bank of Larimer County, Project Self Sufficiency, Share Our Strength's Operation  Frontline Denver Chapter, The United Way of Larimer County and the Women's Resource Center.
 
In the last year, we expanded our giving efforts to include Madagascar.  With a majority of our vanilla beans coming out of Madagascar, we wanted to support development efforts that would help the growers and their families with a focus on sustainability.  In January 2007, we  signed on to support Conservation International's work with the vanilla growers, and in April 2007, we responded to UNICEF's flash appeal for donations to support emergency relief efforts following a series of cyclones that struck Madagascar's vanilla coast.  Our funds went to support relief efforts that included providing families with access to temporary shelter and water.
 
In addition, we have taken many steps in the last year to lessen our company's impact on the environment.  Our facility is 100 percent wind powered and we are a Silver-Level Partner in our city's Climate Wise program.
