Alter Eco strives to be a carbon negative business
As a certified B-Corp, Alter Eco’s environmental goal is to be a carbon negative business – meaning it insets more than it emits, in part by planting thousands of trees. Since 2008, the chocolate maker has planted 28,639 trees and in 2015 its actions helped generate 2,592 tons of C02. In 2016, it plans to plant 7,776 trees. It also recently launched a fully compostable pouch for its quinoa products.
