Our Sustainability Impact

A Better Story Starts Here...
Let’s be honest—food production is responsible for significant ecological impacts like biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s also an industry with systemic social injustices from labor practices to land access.
But when food production is done right, we believe it can be part of the solutions to these challenges: regenerating ecosystems and creating equitable jobs and resilient rural communities. That’s the story we want to be a part of.

A better story starts from the ground up, beginning in the fields and orchards where our ingredients grow.
We believe a steady supply of nutritious ingredients requires soil, ecosystems, and workers that are well cared for.
Farmer + Farmworker Wellbeing
Did you know more than 50% of farmworkers are parents?* We want our products to be good not only for the kids who eat them, but also for the people who grow them. Everyone deserves safe, healthy and respectful working conditions. Though our supply chain is complex, and our methods imperfect, we believe complexity should not equal complacency. We are proud to be the first consumer goods brand to source and pay premiums on produce from suppliers certified by the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI). Learn more about EFI and our progress in the links below.
Organic Agriculture
All of the ingredients we source are grown with certified organic practices. This means they are always non-GMO and free from synthetic pesticides. Better yet, organic farming protects pollinators and builds soil health. But, only 2% of global agricultural lands are under certified organic management.* We want to see more organic acres and increased access to organic for both farmers and consumers alike.

After fruits and veggies are picked and packed, we turn them into delicious farm-fresh snacks, made using renewable energy.
Energy used to make our products is one of the top contributors to our greenhouse gas footprint. To take action, we purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for our manufacturing needs. In this way, we support renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Even better some of our RECs support a Tribal Renewable Energy Fund that aims to bolster energy sovereignty and resilience in indigenous communities.
What farm-fresh snacks get packaged in is just as important as how they got there.
Quality, safety, nutrition, and convenience—these are all part of our promise to you and your families. While we won’t compromise on these standards, we are focused on improving the sustainability of our product packaging, by using less materials and increasing the circularity of materials.
We’re committed to an improved pouch design by 2026 with less materials and more circularity.
To help take the guesswork out of recycling, we include How2Recycle’s instructive label on packaging. Making sure items end up in the right waste streams supports better recycling.
Fiber-based materials like cardboard actually make up the majority of our packaging by weight. So, we focus on using recycled materials or materials from responsibly managed forests.
Our Pouch Mail-Back Process
We offer a free pouch mail-back program in partnership with fellow B Corp, Recyclops! Since recycling is often out of sight, having visibility into every stage of a pouch’s journey is a level of transparency we’re especially proud of!

From farm to fridge, sustainability is core to our business. But this story doesn’t end there.
Our mission to “drive systemic improvements in childhood nutrition for a happier, healthier, more equitable world” compels us to work across the industry to create positive change. We are dedicated to advancing nutrition access through our WIC-approved bowls and partnership with Save the Children.
We’re also engaged in industry collaborations that aim to support Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs and colleagues in our industry. This includes our Entrepreneur Ally Program and a multi-year sponsorship of the non-profit, Project Potluck.
