On Jan. 24, MegaFood (Manchester, NH), a company known for its plant-based supplements, announced a partnership with 1% for the Planet. The company said it will commit 1 percent of annual sales to environmental partners across the globe.
MegaFood has a Giving Strategy designed to support farmers, food, soil, local New Hampshire initiatives, climate related events and Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)-focused organizations, the company said.
“At MegaFood, what drives us every single day is our mission to craft the most efficacious, planet-first vitamins and supplements powered by plants and, as a Certified B Corp since 2018, to be a leading force for good in the world,” said Andy Dahlen, CEO of MegaFood. “We are thrilled to partner with 1% for the Planet and to be one of only a handful of vitamin brands in the world that has made such as commitment.”
In 2022, MegaFood gave $1.235 million in financial donations, product donations, sponsorships and small grants to environmental organizations. It made improvements in environmental management including eliminating 13,500 pounds of plastic in landfills, the company said.
Out of 12,000 companies that are certified by either 1% For The Planet or B Corporation, MegaFood is one of only 250 organizations with both certifications, according to the company.
“Of our 5,400-plus worldwide members, only 15 of them make vitamins, which is why we are excited to welcome MegaFood to our global movement,” said Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet. “MegaFood’s commitment to donate 1 percent to the planet commitment underscores how human health and environmental health go hand-in-hand.”
