Sustainability

In order to maintain authenticity in our claim of being an organization that is committed to corporate social responsibility, New England Natural Bakers emphasizes the “Triple Bottom Line” (TBL) in our business practices. The concept of TBL demands that our company's responsibility lies with our stakeholders. This includes anyone who is affected or influenced, either directly or indirectly, by the actions of our company. TBL stresses three areas: People, Planet and Profit.  While the principals of TBL are relatively new these concepts have been woven into the cultural and business fabric of New England Natural Bakers since its inception.
