THE PANEL
S
pecialty Food asked the heads of three philanthropically oriented companies to weigh in on the
business side of doing good. They represent Peaceful Fruits, which offers full-wage employment
for people with disabilities and ethically sources fruits that are helping to sustain the Amazon
rainforest; Rogue Creamery, a Certified B Corp., meaning that it meets the highest standards of social and
environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability; and BrandStorm Inc./Natierra,
which provides meals to children in need in Haiti. Following are their responses.
Whether it's securing a livable wage for suppliers
or donating food for each product sold, food
makers must consider the balance between
profi ts and purpose.
