Sprouts to host its 2nd Annual Sustainability Vendor Summit

Sprouts Farmers Market will host its second annual Sprouts Brand Sustainability Vendor Summit in early September as part of the company’s commitment to bring responsibly sourced products to its customers. The virtual event, hosted in partnership with ECRM, will allow Sprouts to discover new Retailer-owned Brand (private label) manufacturers with unique and differentiated products that focus on key sustainability attributes such as regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, upcycled ingredients, and fair trade. Product focus areas include Beauty & Personal Care, Health & Wellness, Household, and Grocery.

“Sprouts Farmers Market prides itself on being an industry leader in creating a destination experience for our customers through sourcing innovative, better-for-you products that promote a sense of well-being,” said Jac Ross, VP of Sprouts Brand for Sprouts. “This year’s summit hosted by ECRM will allow us to engage with new suppliers, ensuring we are able to bring attribute-focused sustainable products to our shoppers.”

Private Brand suppliers and manufacturers who align with Sprout’s commitment to ensuring ethically sourced ingredients and sustainable packaging and prioritize and support improved animal welfare can apply through July 31.
