Our concern for the planet is expressed not only through our sourcing and formulation principles but also with every action we take as a company. New Chapter is proud to be a Certified B Corporation, which means we define success in holistic terms that encompass not just profit but people and Earth too. We travel the globe to identify and build relationships with supplier partners who share our commitment to sustainable sourcing. Knowing our suppliers and the origins of their crops helps us uphold a supply chain that is both socially responsible and environmentally conscious. Throughout our supply chain, from Vermont to India, it is our intention to engage partners whose workers are treated with respect and provided with working conditions that are safe, healthy, and balanced. We are part of a growing agricultural movement called regenerative agriculture. Replacing industrial practices with regenerative ones can reboot plants’ natural cycle of removing carbon from the air by sequestering it in the ground. Along with following organic standards, soil regeneration practices include rotating crops, composting, using cover crops, and avoiding deep tilling. These techniques create healthy, carbon-rich soil that is full of organic matter and holds water like a sponge.
