Sustainability
Good for the people, good for the planet.
Since 1982, New Chapter has been fiercely committed to making sustainable choices: every ingredient, every product, every time. We named ourselves New Chapter because we seek to revolutionize natural wellness, finding better ways to improve the lives of people and take care of our precious planet.
Our sustainable roots go deep.
As a Certified B Corporation, it’s our business to make the world a better place. Our sustainable mission has four strong foundations. From these deep roots, New Chapter works to rejuvenate our planet and reconnect people to Nature’s wisdom.
Leading by example.
As leaders in the supplement industry, we’re here to show how it’s done. For example, we’re piloting a program with leading sustainability consultants that onboards suppliers to our sustainability goals and code of conduct. This helps deepen supplier engagement in ethical and sustainable sourcing.
Becoming climate positive.
The world is in a climate emergency–and the status quo is a no-go. New Chapter is on the path to being a Climate Positive business. Our next goals include reducing emissions, innovating packaging, and improving soil health by supporting regenerative farming.
Wellness for everyone.
We prioritize the dignity and well-being of people—our employees, our supplier partners, our vendors, and the communities that we serve. We are working to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion and advocate for social justice throughout our entire value chain. This includes improving hiring practices and volunteering together.
Supplements that work.
We’re raising the bar on product quality from nature to bottle through unparalleled formulations and ingredients backed by meticulous third-party testing. We pack our supplements with the best quality, sustainably sourced ingredients we can find on Earth—real and true and tested.
