Ingredients
How do consumer brand companies know if their products are sustainable? They can avoid red-flag ingredients like GMO crops or uncertified palm oil, but what about all the other ingredients? That’s a question New York-based startup HowGood is hoping to answer with Latis, a tool that crunches data on environmental impact, labor risk and animal welfare for over 30,000 ingredients, chemicals and materials. The result is an impact dashboard that can help producers, retailers or investors to make more sustainable choices, not only about ingredients but also sourcing locations and sustainability standards. With knowledge comes the power to change.
