The sustainable products at Sweet Additions, the sustainability of our supply chain and operations; our natural organic ingredients, non GMO sweeteners, corn syrup replacements, and all the rest are, in a nutshell, the foundation of our company and what we stand for. But we can't do it alone, which is why we've joined two key trade organizations: the Sustainable Food Trade Associationand the Organic Trade Association. The Sustainable Food Trade Association is a non-profit organization whose membership, including organic producers, processors, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, advocates for environmentally sound, socially just business practices to help improve and grow those sectors of the organic and natural foods industry concerned with sustainability. With a similar mission to help organic businesses thrive, the Organic Trade Association advocates, promotes and protects members through regulatory advice, providing information on Organic Standards and NOSB, providing market research data and industry networking. At Sweet Additions, the glucose syrupsand syrup solidswe create, the maltodextrins, evaporated cane juice, organic rice protein, reduced sugar ingredients and more don't come to you from a sustainable-conscious company that exists in a vacuum. It requires sustainable-minded partners of all kinds, from organic farmers to the environmentally conscious paper mills from where we procure our packing materials. It's a complex matrix of many variables that we strive diligently every day to navigate, and with help from powerful friends like the Sustainable Food Trade Association and the Organic Trade Association, we're always improving. If you're not already a member of one or both, please take a look at what these valuable organizations do and offer, and consider joining. Membership helps us all.
