About Honest To Goodness
Honest To Goodness is a line of globally inspired indulgent plant-based and dairy coffee creamers made with simple, high-quality ingredients from around the world.

B-Corp, Recycling, Sustainability
Honest To Goodness is part of the Danone North America family, a Certified B Corporation®. We’re proud to join a like-minded community of companies working together to strengthen the role of business in driving social and economic good for all. We meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. And we’re just getting started.
Honest To Goodness works with EARTHDAY.ORG and their signature tree-planting program, The Canopy Project™, to support reforestation efforts in Madagascar and Brazil, the countries where our vanilla and sugar are sourced. In Madagascar, where we source our vanilla, our investment contributes to tree planting that rehabilitates degraded forest ecosystems and uplifts the local community. In Brazil, where we source our organic sugar, our partnership supports a reforestation and habitat restoration project in the region the endangered Golden Tamarind Monkeys call home. Our partnership will help reforest a keystone area in one of the most threatened biomes in the world.
- Through participation in the export cooperative and the other programs, farmers and their families secure more control over the initial stages of vanilla bean processing, gain transparency into vanilla bean pricing and access to long-term vanilla bean buyers, improve yields and diversify crops through deployment of agroforestry and other sustainable agriculture practices, and engage in conservation of natural ecosystems located near their farms.
- This leads to high quality vanilla products, more resilient communities, and a healthier environment. Learn more about Livelihoods Funds at https://livelihoods.eu/
