Sponsor Profiles in Sustainability & Health

 
 

Oatly

Oatly, the original oatmilk company, exists to make it easier for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. In doing so, we are able to provide solutions to one of humanity’s biggest challenges: to feed the global population over time within the given planetary boundaries. We believe that by scaling our business sustainably, supporting responsible and restorative food and agricultural practices, and empowering people around the world to shift to plant-based diets, we can drive the global shift toward a sustainable food system.


Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute

There’s a better choice when it comes to seafood. Wild and sustainable Alaska seafood is free to roam miles of ocean and roaring icy rivers, and is responsibly sourced by fishermen at just the right moment and in just the right way. This adds up to incomparably superior seafood, packed full of nutrition. Every time you serve Alaska seafood, you preserve generations of family's livelihoods and the many sustainable fisheries in Alaska. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) can help you make the wild choice with its expertise in nutrition, recipe development, training programs, merchandising materials, and promotion partnerships.


Blue Circle foods

Blue Circle Foods is a leader in sustainably sourced farmed and wild-caught seafood. The company is best known for ASC-certified Norwegian Atlantic Salmon products containing no GMOs, antibiotics, or added sugar. These salmon thrive in deep water pens at a ratio of 98% water to 2% fish, where the strong currents of the fjords keep the water naturally clean. Our farmed salmon and shrimp are net producers of protein, meaning that unlike farmed beef, chicken, and pork, our salmon and shrimp generate more protein than they take out of the environment. By sourcing sustainably farmed and wild-caught fish, we’re helping to save resources for the future.


Chobani

Chobani is a food maker with a mission of making high-quality and nutritious food accessible to more people, while elevating our communities and making the world a healthier place. In short: making good food for all. In support of this mission, we are a values-driven, people-first, food-and-wellness-focused company, and have been since Hamdi Ulukaya, an immigrant to the U.S., founded the company in 2005. We produce yogurt, oatmilk, and dairy- and plant-based creamers. Chobani yogurt is America's No.1 yogurt brand, and it’s made with only natural ingredients without artificial preservatives.

Chobani uses food as a force for good in the world – putting humanity first in everything we do. Our philanthropic efforts prioritize giving back to our communities and beyond: working to eradicate child hunger, supporting immigrants, refugees and underrepresented people, honoring veterans, and protecting the planet.

illy

In April 2021, illy earned B-Corp certification for meeting the highest standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and responsibility. Ethics and sustainability are part of illycaffè’s DNA since its founding in 1933. It is applied to the company’s entire supply chain, which is built on a system of direct relations with suppliers based on four pillars: selecting and working directly with the best Arabica growers; transferring knowledge and expertise to the growers, training them at illycaffè’s University of Coffee (UdC); and through direct, hands-on work in coffee fields with specialized agronomists to achieve sustained, high-quality production while also respecting the environment.  We continue to make a difference and lead by action, which includes our goal of reaching Carbon Neutrality by 2033.

National Peanut Board

The National Peanut Board has helped America’s peanut farmers make dramatic improvements in environmentally favorable crop production practices through funding of research–more than $37.9 million since 2001. As a result, farmers are increasing yields, growing more drought tolerant plant varieties with more efficient irrigation, using fewer pesticides, fungicides and other inputs, and using less energy.
