One company, start to finish
Straus Family Creamery, read from its public record on 21 July 2026. Every source opened again by a person on 16 September 2026.
REAL COMPANY · PUBLIC DOCUMENTS ONLY · NOT A CUSTOMER · STRAUS DID NOT SUPPLY OR REVIEW THIS PAGE
What this page is, and what it is not
A member's workspace runs five steps. The company supplies documents. We pull the facts out. A person checks the sources.
Then what is missing is named, and a buyer response is produced.
This page runs those five steps on a real company using only what is public.
The one step a public record cannot show is the first: nobody at Straus uploaded anything.
Everything after that ran the way it runs for a member. Where a figure did not check, the page says so.
The example workspace shows the same tool on an invented company. The Straus record is the live page this was read from.
Any word here you have not met before is in Definitions.
Documents in
In a workspace, the company uploads bills, certificates and reports, and we file each with its date and source. Here, the 25 documents are the public ones.

Thirteen of the 25 shown. The record lists all of them with the date each was read.
In a workspace. The documents a buyer cannot see are the ones that close the most ground: utility bills, supplier certificates, the refrigerant log.
Facts extracted
Five readings came off those documents. Each carries the document it came from. Nothing on this list is a claim; each is a figure or a date on a page.
- Founded 1994 as the first 100% certified organic creamery in the United States. The organic position is original, not adopted. Source: Our Story.
- The methane digester has run since 2004, self-initiated, and cuts more than 700 metric tons of CO2e a year. Source: methane digester page; CDFA AMMP data.
- Milk ships in returnable glass: a $3.00 deposit, a 70% return rate, more than 3.5 million bottles back in 2025, against a stated 90% goal. Source: packaging page; 2025 report; FAQ.
- All 12 supplying farms carry a Carbon Farm Plan as of end-2025. An incentive program has moved an average of $250,000 a year to those farms since 2024. Farm pay averaged $38.43 per hundredweight against a $34.53 network cost. Source: 2025 report; Business Wire release.
- Operational Scope 1 and 2 emissions are published: 1,802 MT CO2e in 2025, down 15% per hundredweight since 2021. Commitment: a net carbon-neutral dairy model across all supplying farms by 2030. Source: 2025 and 2024 reports.
In a workspace. The same extraction runs on what you upload. A figure is never typed in; it is read off a document and filed with it.
A person checked the sources
On 16 September 2026, a script opened every link first. Then each figure above was looked for, by reading, in the document that is supposed to carry it.
Links
23 of 25 opened. Business Wire blocks scripts, so its two releases were not re-opened.
The $250,000-a-year figure they support is also in the 2025 report, which did open. The 2022 seaweed-supplement release was not re-checked.
| Figure | Looked for in | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1,802 MT CO2e, 2025 Scope 1 and 2 | 2025 report | Found. Published as one combined figure, not split by scope. |
| 70% return, 90% goal, 3.5 million bottles | 2025 report | Found, as written. |
| $3.00 deposit | FAQ | Found, as written. |
| $38.43 paid per hundredweight against $34.53 cost | 2025 report | Found, as written. |
| Digester since 2004, more than 700 MT a year | Methane digester page | Found, as written. |
| 12 farms, each with a Carbon Farm Plan | 2025 report | Twelve farms found. The plan is described; a per-farm list is not in the report. |
| Refrigerants left out of the emissions count | 2025 report | Not there. The note is in the 2024 report. The 2025 report does not say either way. |
| TRUE Zero Waste re-certification targeted for 2027 | 2025 report | Found, as a stated goal. |
| B Corp | 2025 report | Not certified, and the report says so plainly. Filed as a self-assessment, not a certification. |
Corrections made
No figure changed. One citation is wrong: the record credits the refrigerant note to the 2025 report.
It is in the 2024 report, and the 2025 report does not say either way.
Corrected on the record on 30 September 2026, and treated as an open question for 2025 below.
In a workspace. A person does this on your documents before anything is shown to a buyer. Estimates stay marked as estimates.
What did not check is said, not smoothed over.
What is missing, named
A buyer's form asks about 11 things. Read against the public record, Straus can answer 4 today, one in part, and 6 are open.
4
of 11 buyer questions answerable from the public record
| Question | From the public record | What closes it |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 emissions | Answerable. Combined with Scope 2 at 1,802 MT. | Split by scope in the next report, or from the workings. |
| Scope 2 emissions | Answerable. Same combined figure. | As above. |
| Water use | In part. Per-unit figures published, down 3% per hundredweight. No annual total. | Twelve months of water bills. |
| Certifications, and whether current | Answerable. USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project current. TRUE Zero Waste lapsed, re-certification 2027. | Nothing. Already answerable. |
| Tier 1 supplier list | Open. Twelve farms counted, not listed by name in the report. | One list from the company. |
| Scope 3, purchased goods | Open. No Scope 3 figure published. In dairy the on-farm number is the largest. | Carbon Farm Plan data from each of the 12 farms, one document each. |
| Packaging recycled content | Open. Glass is reused, which is stronger than recycled content. Caps, tubs and film are not stated. | One spec sheet from the packaging supplier. |
| Labor audit on file | Open. Waste audits are published; a labor audit is not. | The audit report, if one exists, or a date for one. |
| Tier 2 supplier list | Open. | Each farm names its feed and input suppliers. |
| Scope 3, logistics | Open. The milk fleet is inside Scope 1; outbound freight is not stated. | Freight invoices for one year. |
| A published reduction target | Answerable. Net carbon-neutral dairy model by 2030. | Nothing. Already answerable. |
Three gaps a buyer would notice
- One resolution apart. Buyer programs at Whole Foods and Albertsons ask per product. The record answers per farm and per creamery. No per-product carbon figure exists to hand back yet.
- The coverage edge. The published count is creamery operations. Refrigerants were excluded in 2024 and are unconfirmed for 2025. No Scope 3 count is published.
- A certification, lapsed. TRUE Zero Waste certified the Marshall facility in 2019. It did not travel to the new creamery. Re-certification is targeted for 2027.
In a workspace. Most of the open questions are not the company's own to close. Each becomes one request to one supplier, with a link.
The tracker shows who has answered.
The buyer response produced
The nearest live request in this company's channels is Amazon's Supply Chain Standards, which reach Whole Foods suppliers.
It asks for emissions data and a reduction goal. This is the draft the record produces.

Re: Emissions data and reduction goal, Straus Family Creamery
Emissions reported. Scope 1 and 2, 2025: 1,802 MT CO2e, down 15% per hundredweight since 2021.
Boundary. Creamery operations, warehouse, offices and the milk fleet.
Refrigerants. Excluded from the 2024 count. Status for 2025 to be confirmed by the company before this is sent.
Reduction goal. A net carbon-neutral dairy model across all 12 supplying farms by 2030. Every farm holds a Carbon Farm Plan as of end-2025.
Not yet available. Scope 3 and per-product carbon intensity. The farm-level data to build them is being collected; a date for the first figure goes here.
Sources. 2025 and 2024 Sustainability Reports; methane digester and packaging pages; CDFA AMMP data. Each figure links to its page.
In a workspace. The member edits this, fills the two lines marked for them, and sends it as a PDF or a link.
The next form that asks the same questions starts from here.
Where this example stops
- Straus Family Creamery is not a customer. Nobody there uploaded a document, reviewed a line, or paid.
- The company's own documents, the supplier requests to twelve farms, and the sent response are the parts a public record cannot show.
- A published customer example needs that customer's written permission. When a member gives it, their workflow will appear here in the same five steps.
- Anything on this page that is wrong is ours to fix. A correction from the company is filed with its date, like every other document.
