The brand was founded on the principle of forging a new path in commerce by promoting principles of social justice and equity, sustainable development and environmental protection, along with education and increased consumer awareness. The overall objective is to promote an alternative approach to conventional business practices, which prioritizes the well-being of people and the planet.
The primary objective of the label is to ensure that producers, growers and breeders receive fair compensation for their products. As a result, the emphasis is on promoting their products and extending their reach to a wider audience. Not only that, but the program also seeks to provide the necessary support and guidance to these stakeholders in their dealings with processors and consumers.
