Conscious Alliance is committed to pursuing and distributing food before it ends up in the landfill. To do this, they have formed partnerships through 1% for the Planet with brands like Boxed Water, Bundle Organics, Kefla, Mamma Chia, Ocean’s Halo, Oliko, Patagonia Provisions, Simmer, The BU LLC (Kombucha), Schultz’s, Three Bears, and Thrive Tribe, who are able to prevent food waste while providing hunger relief.
The economic impact of Covid-19 has increased the number of families in need of food assistance. Fortunately, because of these strong partnerships, Conscious Alliance was able to rescue and distribute over 1.5 million meals to families in need since January. That’s an over 400,000 meal increase from what Conscious Alliance distributed in 2019.
Conscious Alliance virtually eliminates food waste from the most wasteful part of our supply chain and puts that food to good use by diverting it towards food-insecure families and away from landfills. This saves our company time, money, and resources.

Of that, 1% for the Planet partners contributed 878,666 pounds of food that were diverted from landfills with Conscious Alliance, providing food to 11 vulnerable communities during the pandemic. The food donations from brands were distributed through schools, community meal programs, emergency pop-up relief organizations and local food banks and pantries.
