Since our founding nearly 50 years ago with a mission to elevate and nurture sustainability, we’ve built on that legacy by helping to transform the food and beverages people consume, the way they are made, and the communities where we live and work,” said Joe Ennen, CEO of SunOpta. “Sustainability is at the root of everything we do as a producer of plant-based and fruit-based food and beverages. Through time-bound goals, SunOpta is able to efficiently track and share its sustainability progress. The company is also committed to developing innovative packaging solutions and using efficient modes of transportation. SunOpta also developed a Food Loss and Waste Policy and standard operating procedures, laying the groundwork for donating the equivalent of more than 1.9 million meals to Feeding America.Īs a company with a passionate focus on sustainability, innovation and community, SunOpta is working to find solutions to reduce electricity, gas and water and to achieve zero waste at its own manufacturing facilities.
