Nature Supply Co.

Sustainability Story

Nature Supply Co was founded by Lindsey Huber in 2016 after realizing the impact our current food system had on not only her own health but also on the health of the planet. Her research and personal health journey led her to become a nature-lover, foodie, and environmentalist. But it didn't stop there - Lindsey wanted to spread the word about what she discovered and ultimately, make the world a better place. Thus, Nature Supply Co was 'born.' Every decision from sourcing to packaging is made with the planet in mind. All of our products are manufactured in anti-sweatshop environments where workers are paid fair wages. Our organic line meets the Global Organic Textile Standards and is made out of cotton grown without any harmful chemicals or pesticides. Our non-organic apparel manufacturer recycles or re-purposes all of their waste and they use solar energy to power their buildings. Every item is made to order to prevent overstock and waste. We strive for recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable packaging options wherever possible and are constantly updating our processes. We are proud to have zeroed out our entire carbon footprint by becoming Climate Neutral Certified in 2020. To become officially certified, we have set goals to reduce our carbon footprint (such as sourcing more locally-grown organic cotton, minimizing our waste from faulty items through recycling and upcycling, etc.) and to offset any remaining carbon emissions by purchasing carbon offsets. Our ultimate goal is simple: to be a responsible company that makes products that help combat climate change.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
