Jeff Harvey
President and CEO of Burgerville. Since 2004
Jeff Harvey is president and CEO of Burgerville. Since 2004, Jeff has been gearing up the company to take bold steps to become a stronger player in the food industry and to become a significant influence in how business can be responsible and sustainable in all aspects, including people, profitability and community. Jeff has played an integral role in achieving double-digit sales growth in 2006 and 2007 and, with Tom, has developed a chief operating team and leadership team that have a proven track record in growing the company.
Burgerville is known for its progressive business practices and commitment to local resources. The chain uses 100% wind power for all of its restaurants and headquarters, and is the largest chain in America to do so. Burgerville uses only trans fat-free canola oil and sends 7,500 gallons per month to be transformed into biodiesel. In 2004, Burgerville switched to range-fed beef raised without hormones and antibiotics. In 2007, it began composting food waste which is expected to result in an 85% reduction in waste and $100,000 annual savings.
