Factors Group USA Sustainability Actions

Organic farming and seed saving

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 production in BC

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 for future generations

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

As part of being an environmentally friendly company, 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 monitoring and certification

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.
