A good year for GoodSam chocolates
After earning certification as a B Corporation (B Corp) in late 2022, the GoodSAM team focused on continuing to grow its retail presence, innovating new products to continue to make sustainable snacking delicious and accessible, and expanding key partnerships.
“Since GoodSAM’s inception, our team has been wholly dedicated to disrupting the traditional food system in new, sustainable and delicious ways by creating truly mutually beneficial partnerships with our farmers, participating in transparent and intentional partnerships and always working toward making a positive impact around the world,” said GoodSAM Founder & CEO, Heather K Terry. “Our team at GoodSAM continues to make waves in the sustainable food space and open up broader conversations about the importance of regenerative agriculture and transparent supply chain practices. We’re looking forward to expanding our reach and creating even more delicious, sustainable snacks throughout this year.”
GoodSAM’s 2023 highlights year-to-date include:
- Industry Accolades: On a mission to upend the food industry, GoodSAM was recognised by multiple leaders with awards and accolades.
