The first-ever Sustainability Vendor Summit will take place June 21-24 as a part of Sprouts Farmers Market’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
The event will take place virtually, and in partnership with ECRM and RangeMe, two supplier resource companies that will allow Sprouts to find suppliers to support Sprouts Branded items.
“At Sprouts, we believe that doing good extends beyond selling healthy products,” said Jac Ross, vice president of Our Brands at Sprouts Farmers Market, in a statement. “Our long-term growth strategy is rooted in sustainability efforts that improve our business while caring for our customers, team members, local communities and planet. Sprouts Sustainability Vendor Summit will help advance our dedication to expand our sustainable selection of Sprouts Branded products in our over 380 stores across the country and beyond.”
From April 19-25, Private Brand suppliers and manufacturers who have committed to ethically sourced and sustainable products are encouraged to sign up for the summit.
