ABOUT SEVENTH GENERATION
Established in 1988, the Burlington, Vermont based company remains an independent, privately held company distributing products to natural food stores, supermarkets, mass merchants, and online retailers across the United States and Canada.
We believe our products are healthier solutions for the air, surfaces, fabrics, pets and people within your home—and for the community and environment outside of it. As a pioneer in corporate responsibility, we want our products to make a difference—from their development through to their production, purchase, use, and disposal. We are always evaluating how to reduce their environmental impact, increase performance and safety, and create a more sustainable supply chain. We believe our products set a course for a more mindful way of doing business, where companies act as partners with other stakeholders to create a brighter future for the whole planet. Seventh Generation’s business practices focus on offering people varied avenues to express their idealism, passion, and commitment to causes larger than themselves.
