our planet, our progress

if there's anything the past few years have taught us, it's that incremental sustainability steps make a difference.

this report is the culmination of every small step we took together; every container we composted, every bag we reused, every meal we donated, and every local partner we supported.

we, did that together.

but, we can't stop there. our committment to better is a continuous journey of redefining what it means to support our planet and our health.

this year, and every year after, we invite you to celebrate what we've accomplished together, and what lies ahead.

thank you for committing to better with us.
