Whole Foods, WhiteWave Foods, Gaiam among top 50 employers in Boulder

July 26, 2010 · Posted by in Environment 

Each year, the Camera’s Alicia Wallace takes a look at the top 50 Boulder county employers. This year’s private sector leaders included three companies you’d think of as green types right away, and of course plenty that have some kind of environmental initiative or another.

Whole Foods comes in at No. 13 with 712 employees, WhiteWave Foods at No. 16 with 507 employees and Gaiam at No. 41 with 231 employees.

For reference, IBM is at the top with about 2,800 employees and public sector employers remain huge in Boulder, of course, with the University of Colorado far outsizing everybody else at nearly 7,000 employees, followed by the Boulder Valley School District and St. Vrain Valley School District at about 2,700 apiece.

    I love when Whole Foods get involved in community related environmental initiatives. I'm going to the one in Venice to take part in what they're doing with the Luminaries (check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=illurmgAcxA to see the video). I think it's pretty cool. :-)
