Factors Group Canada Sustainability Actions

Organic farming practices

Factors Farms is certified organic, and we fertilize our crops with compost and nitrogen-rich sea plants to maintain them as chemical-and pesticide-free as possible. We also grow non-hybridized crops from non-GMO seeds and participate in heirloom seed-saving programs.

Local ingredient production

By growing our ingredients locally in BC, we keep our carbon emissions down, support jobs in our own communities, and capture the nutritional value of fresh, whole plants by harvesting them at their peak and processing them immediately at our own facilities.

Seed bank conservation

After years of botanical research, we have built up a strategic collection of seeds that has become a world-class seed bank. This includes rare heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, many of which are long gone from other commercial farms and private gardens.

Waste diversion programs

Our employees work collectively toward the goal of zero waste. We are mindful of the ecological footprint of products used within the business and have rolled out extensive recycling programs to reduce our impact. This initiative has led to our Burnaby and Coquitlam, BC facilities to improve their waste diversion rate from 64–68% in the last year.

GHG emissions monitoring

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are now monitored enterprise-wide according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards. By completing the inventory, we are a Climate Smart Certified Business.

Carbon-neutral operations

At Natural Factors, a love for our Earth is at the heart of what we do. We recognize the importance of addressing our environmental impact and are committed to reducing emissions wherever possible. We are now a carbon-neutral business! Our partners, Bullfrog Power and Less Emissions, helped us achieve this goal through their green fuel and carbon offset products.

Socially responsible suppliers

We are continuously researching innovative ways to tread lightly on the Earth by reducing our waste, improving energy and freight efficiency, and using ecologically friendly materials in our operations. As part of this, we build relationships with suppliers who are socially responsible, thus providing an environment for sustainable raw materials and technology to flourish.
