BABY ORGANICS INC.
The energies of life on Earth ebb and flow in a delicate balance it has perfected over several million years. The impact we have on this harmony is substantial, and since the industrialization of agriculture has become of critical importance.
Not even a century ago, many of our local fields, meadows, and forests were densely thriving with ecologic self-sustaining life. With today’s urban sprawl, this abundance of ecology exists only in the most remote areas. Many of our pre-industrial grain fields have been converted into grasslands, overly used and sprayed with generations of insecticides and fertilizers. This chemical exposure is having long-term consequences for the health and performance of soil around the world. The physical stress of heavy tillage equipment and processing at “off” times has destroyed sensitive soil ecosystems, requiring a vicious cycle of even more chemical use and a deterioration of groundwater. Globalization has introduces viruses and parasites that have affected our plants, and inevitable insect pollination from genetically modified crops as contaminated even the GMO-free areas with traces of genetic engineering.
Large companies around the world have an ethical duty towards the environment with every action they take. There is no doubt that the most substantial impact to our environment comes from the manufacturing process, namely of those companies who hold the greatest market shares. We would like to see companies that have a heart-felt desire to minimize their impact and deliver the healthiest goods gain greater success in our economy. Some key concepts and processes we value include:
- Gentle, energy efficient manufacturing
- Solar energy and green electricity from hydropower plants
- Low CO2 emissions footprints
- Use of renewable energy resources
- Minimal packaging designs, recyclable or reusable materials
- Reduction of electricity and heating consumptions
- Avoidance of unnecessary water and waste water consumption
- Sustainable disposal of waste products
- Organic, gentle farming and natural production
- Organic aquaculture and sustainable fisheries
- Promotion of seed and pollinator health
- No testing on animals
- Reduced environmental pollution
- Use of environmentally friendly technologies that minimize adverse effects
The protection of our planet’s soils, waters, climate, and atmosphere is one of the most important tasks of our time—and there is no better motivator than looking into the eyes of our children. We expect our suppliers and our supply chain to incorporate into their operational management system this same level of commitment to assessing their impact and improving upon their environmental performance.
VISION AND GOALS
It is the goal of Baby Organics to serve parents with education, guidance, and access to the most important resources they need for their children. We are naturalists at heart. We truly believe in the ways of nature, that the natural world gives us the best ideas for what we need to thrive and to be happy. We believe that all children have the right to their beautiful natural existence and to nourish their bodies with natural foods, clean water, and clean air. Our world has made complex what should be simple for parents to do: provide the most loving, natural environment possible for their kids.
We have spent the better part of several years identifying critical needs in the marketplace for parents and their children, particularly related to essential nutrition at the start of life.
CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY
Our Earth is a living, breathing creation, we cannot separate our daily actions from its influence. This delicate balance between our economic and social needs, and the need of the environment around us is at the core of our corporate philosophy. Creating business activity that is sustainable in this way ensures the ability of our children and their children to enjoy this planet as we do. To this end, we only support products from companies who feel a particular responsibility to protect nature and who carefully conserve their resources without compromising quality. This includes a commitment to sustainability and promotion of continuing biodiversity through good practices such as renewable energy use, CO2-neutral production (or a small CO2 footprint), recycling and reuse practices, and constantly improving environmental performance by reducing water and electricity consumption.
Quality Control is an absolutely essential component of success. It is not enough to deliver an organic product to the market. Parents are enthusiastic to seek the best and most natural solutions for their children, but they also must be able to absolutely trust in the safety and quality of the brand. When parents make a decision that influences the health of their child, we want them to feel confident in their choice. Quality assurance carried out with modern methods from the raw material stage to the final product delivery should happen even without legal requirements or regulations. Strict control guidelines are an essential corporate value. This is understandably not necessarily an easy task when simultaneously trying to maintain ingredients and processes as simple and natural as possible. Only the best companies achieve this kind of full traceability with large-scale production, and these are exactly the partners we support.
We believe in providing parents with the most accurate information possible regarding the choices they make for their child’s health and foster open, respectful and trusting relationships with both our suppliers and our customer base.
