OUR FIVE MOST MATERIAL FOCUS AREAS:
1. Regenerative Agriculture We embrace six key principles of regenerative agriculture—building soil health, managing water wisely, minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals, enhancing biodiversity, promoting animal welfare, and creating collaborative and equitable partnerships within the food system. Our commitment to regenerative practices, combined with our focus on supporting smallholder farmers throughout our value chain, is central to fulfilling our responsibility to both people and the planet. 2. Employee Health, Safety, and Well-being Our commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of our employees is reflected in a wide range of offerings and initiatives. Alongside traditional benefits like medical, dental, and vision coverage, we go above and beyond to meet our team’s evolving needs through programs such as subsidized onsite childcare, transportation solutions, an apprentice- ship program, and savings matches. 3. Sustainable Operations and Climate Resiliency At Frontier Co-op, we see sustainable operations and climate resiliency as a broad priority that combines several critical areas, including energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water stewardship, waste management, and climate action. We are focused on enhancing resilience and mitigating risks within our facilities and across our value chain. 4. Sustainable Products We’re excited to see a growing emphasis on responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and sustainable ingredi- ents within our industry. We’re committed to educating consumers on the importance of choosing sustainably sourced ingredients and how those choices contribute to a more sustainable food system. 5. Transparency and Traceability We know our consumers want greater insight into the journey of their products—from farm to fork. That’s why we’ve embraced tools like SEDEX to enhance visibility into supply chain risks and prioritized educating consumers about certifications such as USDA Organic, Fairtrade, and Non-GMO. By providing clear, accessible information on our labels, we empower our customers to make informed purchasing decisions.
