A curated list of companies selected for practices such as organic ingredients/materials, Fair Trade sourcing, non-toxic formulations, B Corp status, and other credible sustainability credentials.
1. OnlyKale — onlykale.com Freeze-dries USDA organic certified kale and powderizes it into single-serve stick packs, making a nutrient-dense superfood easy to add to any diet at about one tenth of the weight of leaf kale. The reduced weight that is shelf stable dramatically reduces the environmental burden of refrigerated transportation, while preserving the nutrients.
2. Equal Exchange — equalexchange.coop Worker-owned cooperative sourcing Fair Trade, organic coffee, tea, and chocolate directly from small farmer co-ops around the world.
3. Alter Eco — alterecofoods.com Organic, Fair Trade chocolate and pantry goods; carbon-neutral operations and compostable packaging for its chocolate bars.
4. Nature’s Path — naturespath.com Family-owned organic cereal, granola, and snack company with mostly reusable/compostable packaging and regular donations of organic food to those in need.
5. GoMacro — gomacro.com Mother-daughter-owned maker of organic, plant-based protein bars; facilities run on solar and wind power, with Fair Trade-sourced chocolate and cinnamon.
Note: Sustainability claims and certifications can change over time — it’s worth double-checking current certifications (USDA Organic, Fair Trade Certified, B Corp, GOTS, FSC, etc.) directly on each company’s site before making purchasing or vendor decisions.
