Watch: New Hope award winners offer advice to natural products innovators

New Hope Network’s Community Purpose and Impact Awards recognize individuals and organizations who are directly aligned with New Hope’s mission to cultivate a prosperous, high integrity consumer packaged goods and retail ecosystem that creates health, joy and justice for all people and regenerates the planet.

In its second year, the Community Purpose and Impact Awards continues to reflect the values the natural products industry members support, recognizing that meaningful impact on our health and the environment requires progress and continually challenging the status quo. Once a year at Natural Products Expo West, New Hope Network honors the industry’s greatest change-makers across six categories.

Here are the 2023 Community Purpose and Impact Award winners:
