Green America
The Honest Kitchen is also an approved member of Green America, which places a high priority on sustainability, green business and fair-trade. As part as our application for membership, documentation on each of our suppliers both domestically and overseas, was supplied by The Honest Kitchen and evaluated by their organization in order to obtain approval for membership of Green America. Businesses such as The Honest Kitchen which bear the green America seal, operate in ways that support workers, communities, and protect the environment.
The Screening Team, which is appointed by and reports to Green America's board of directors, investigates each applying company to determine: 1) its familiarity with and commitment to social and environmental responsibility, and 2) significant action in terms of this commitment. Our research team also seeks independent data to verify company information.
Specifically, to be qualified as a Green America Business, companies must demonstrate that they:
- Focus on using business as a tool for positive social change.
- Are "values-driven," as well as profit-driven.
- Are socially and environmentally responsible in the way they source, manufacture, and market their products and run their offices and factories.
- Are committed to and employ extraordinary and innovative practices that benefit: workers, communities, customers, and the environment.
