Hi Stephen, we appreciate your curiosity! As a baking company, we’re strongly aware of our impact on the environment. Our work sourcing the best-quality flour and ingredients depends deeply on farmers and the health of our agricultural system. A commitment to environmental stewardship has long been a key piece in King Arthur’s company mission. As a certified B Corporation, we've been transparently measuring our environmental impact against rigorous standards since 2007. And as the world evolves, so does our approach. We have proudly partnered with Farmer Direct Foods for over 20 years to source more of our wheat from regenerative sources, and have funded work at the Bread Lab for over 10 years to develop grains that are more resilient to today's changing conditions.
Since 2004, we have been a 100% employee owned company, and are very proud of that fact. As employee-owners, we're not beholden to outside shareholders who care only about the bottom line. We have the freedom to emphasize other values, like social and environmental responsibility, and the wellness and satisfaction of our employees.
