Superfoods
with Purpose^™

We run the gauntlet of rigorous third-party certifications and testing processes before and after production because we want to ensure top notch quality, efficacy and safety in our foods.

The United Nations and many other leading research organizations recognize that a plant-forward lifestyle not only benefits personal health but also is one of the greatest efforts we can make to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address our environmental crisis. We recommend bookmarking this repository of studies showing the benefits of a plant-based diet if you'd like to dig in more.

We know not everyone is familiar with the superfoods we sell because they originate from ancient, traditional cultures from across the globe! That's why we employ a team of product and nutrition experts to help guide our customers, retailers and partners in learning about product benefits, provide helpful usage tips and identify the right superfoods for specific needs and desires. Visit our Help Center for more.

We have been investing in traditional (regenerative), organic agriculture since our inception in 2003. In 2020 alone, we purchased 3,700,000 lbs. of certified organic superfoods and supported thousands of smallholder farmers along the way.

Through our sourcing partners, we support 80,000+ acres of land farmed using traditional (regenerative) organic practices by smallholder farms and co-ops. Primary sourcing regions include Peru, Canada, Colombia, Brazil, India, the Philippines, Turkey, and beginning in 2020 – Sierra Leone.

Northeastern University and The Organic Center published a study in 2017 showing that soils from organic farms have 26% more potential for long-term carbon storage than soils from conventional farms, along with 13% more soil organic matter.

We’re measuring our scope 1 & 2 emissions and setting science-based targets for the future reduction of our emissions.

In 2016, Navitas Organics headquarters installed a 75-kW solar panel system that, as of 2021, has offset 340,122 kWh of energy, equivalent to saving 50.5 tons of coal or other fossil fuels from being burned for energy.

Earnestly committed to reducing our carbon footprint, we have installed solar panels, LED light bulbs, low flow toilets, outdoor xeriscaping, and low VOC paints and carpets at our home office. We consciously source environmentally friendly supplies wherever possible including recycled paper products and green cleaning products. In addition, composting and recycling are everyday practices in our HQ kitchen.

We recognize the need to source environmentally friendly packaging solutions that function for our products. Until better options become available, we are actively transitioning all our packaging to post consumer resin (PCR) until a viable compostable option becomes available. Current limitations will allow for 38% PCR, but we are searching for 60% by 2021. Stay tuned for further developments in our packaging innovation!

As of 2021, we’ve contributed $534,364 in fair trade premiums through Fairtrade America, and in 2020 alone our fair trade premiums reached $176,380. These premiums pay for social, environmental and economic investments that go back into the farming communities where we source our products.

Working with 5,000+ farmers, we are committed to partnering with smallholder farms to strengthen both economies and communities in the regions where we do business. There are many benefits to smallholder sourcing for both consumers and farmers. For more, see the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization factsheet.

From providing loans to build essential processing facilities in the Andean plateau of Peru to our current regenerative project in Sierra Leone, our commitment to our farmers remains a top priority of our business. See Our Growers’ page for more information.

We believe that considering a long-term, sustainability-based vision of a company can create resiliency, while also securing profits for the lifetime of the brand.

We are a proud partner of Climate Collaborative, a consortium of brands committed to using their businesses together as a force to reverse climate change through actionable initiatives. Learn more >

We are committed to investing in farming communities beyond official Fairtrade organizations. More exciting news on this coming soon!

We believe in giving back and are proud that this is a core value in our business model. We support ongoing partnerships with non-profit organizations focused on creating meaningful changes to transform a healthy food system. Since 2018 alone, we have made over $469,620 in contributions to partners including, A Growing Culture, Conscious Kitchen, Ceres Project, Farmer’s Footprint, Farms To Grow and more.

Navitas Organics has been proudly B Corp certified since 2016, using the power of business to address many social and environmental problems we face today. Learn more about what it means to be a Certified B Corp
