Spotlight: Alter Eco

Meet Alter Eco… purveyor of “the cleanest, greenest snacks on Earth” and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for May 28.

Alter Eco is a San Francisco-based food company striving to deliver food that restores rather than depletes. Renowned for its commitment to producing organic, fair trade and environmentally responsible products, Alter Eco’s diverse product line includes rich dark chocolate bars, creamy truffles, crunchy granolas and heirloom quinoa, all crafted with a focus on quality and sustainability. Its products are widely available both online and in physical retail stores.

For Alter Eco, sustainability is foundational across the business and its operations. First, the brand’s products are grown in thriving ecosystems by small-scale, fair trade farmers. With a goal to source 100% of their cocoa from regenerative and agroforestry projects, Alter Eco is helping their farmers transition to regenerative agriculture to improve farmer livelihood and mitigate climate change.

Alter Eco uses high-quality clean ingredients that are always organic. Each product is USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO and many are gluten-free, reflecting Alter Eco’s dedication to clean ingredients and ethical sourcing. The brand has committed to using only compostable, recyclable or post-consumer recyclable packaging for all its food products to help reduce or eliminate waste. The company also has developed comprehensive plans to reduce its carbon footprint -- including through renewable energy use -- and offsets all its remaining carbon emissions.

As a certified B Corporation and Public Benefit Corporation, Alter Eco exemplifies how businesses can operate with a strong commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
