A More Sustainable
Future is Paramount to Our Mission at Garden of Life
Becoming more sustainable is an important part of our overall mission at Garden of Life. That’s why we continuously explore ways to demonstrate our progress. From relevant certifications, to recycled and recyclable packaging, to sourcing initiatives – we carefully evaluate our options with sustainability in mind.
Certified B-Corp
Certified B-Corporation verifies that companies meet its standards for social and environmental performance, and builds a collective voice through the power of the unifying B-Corp brand.
Green-e Energy
Green-e® is the nation’s leading voluntary certification program for renewable energy. Developed in conjunction with leading environmental, energy and policy organizations, Green-e® Energy has been certifying renewable energy that meets environmental and consumer protection standards for over a decade.
Recyclable Packaging
One-quarter to one-third of all domestic waste is packaging and much of it is difficult to recycle. At Garden of Life, we are intentional about using recyclable packaging as much as possible. It’s a standard we are committed to for our products, our consumers, and for our Earth.
Post-Consumer Recycled Bottle (PCR)
Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic is derived from an end product (such as a clear PET water bottle) that has completed its lifecycle as a consumer item and would otherwise have been disposed of as a solid waste product. Post-consumer plastics include plastics that have been collected in commercial and residential recycling programs.
4ocean
Founded by two surfers on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis, 4ocean is a global cleanup operation that recovers millions of pounds of trash from the world’s oceans, rivers, and coastlines every year. Garden of Life has partnered with 4ocean to remove 500,000 pounds of plastic and trash by the end of 2026.
1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet members commit to donating at least 1% of annual sales of our Dr. Formulated Omega-3 line to environmental organizations. 1% for the Planet then certifies every donation to ensure businesses meet that commitment.
FSC – Forests For All Forever™
FSC is an independent, non-profit organization that protects forests for future generations. FSC is an open, membership-led organization that sets standards under which forests and companies are certified. FSC membership consists of three equally weighted chambers—environmental, economic and social—to ensure the balance and the highest level of integrity.
LEED Certification
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. LEED stands for building leadership, and is transforming the way we think about how buildings and communities are designed, constructed, maintained and operated across the globe.
