MegaFood's Impact Report follows the framework of a B Corp assessment and focuses on Workers, Community, Environment, and Regenerating Supply.

1. Workers: Employees are at the heart of any company ecosystem, and MegaFood takes pride in offering a workplace environment where all employees and teams can flourish. In addition to providing a liveable wage, the company prioritizes health, wellness, safety, and job satisfaction, as well as creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Partnering and supporting farmers, industry peers, industry experts, academia, and nonprofits the brand aims to use its influence to support a more just, inclusive, and planet-friendly world.

3. Environment: MegaFood prioritizes practices that continue to focus on reducing our environmental footprint. Specifically, the company is focused on ways to improve the environment and the overall impact on the air, climate, water, and ecosystem. Through a variety of tactics, MegaFood is working to improve operations efficiency as well as supporting regenerative efforts in the supply web.

4. Regenerating Supply: Fruits, vegetables, and botanicals are foundational to MegaFood products. Healthy, nutrient-dense foods depend upon rich, healthy soils. For that reason, MegaFood has been an active proponent of regenerative agriculture which is rooted in the wisdom of Indigenous traditions and prioritizes nurturing the soil while also sustaining ecological function, biodiversity, and farmer welfare.

"Changing climate impacts everyone – from farmers to employees and consumers. At MegaFood, we are committing to a science-based target and working rigorously to craft a meaningful climate action plan that focuses on reduction projects before offsets," says Stacia Betley, Director of Sustainability and Social Impact at MegaFood. "Through our partnerships and collaboration, we are committed to moving the needle as we don't have time to waste."

As the company continues its journey to becoming more sustainable, they recognize there is still much to be done. Looking ahead, MegaFood will continue to support soil health while taking a holistic approach to sustainability. Additionally, MegaFood will continue to expand efforts on reduction projects with the creation of an Operations Green Team.
