Growing a natural products business is hard. Growing a natural products business committed to the triple bottom line is even harder. You don’t have to do it alone.
Our CEO Leadership Chapters provide mission-driven leaders of the natural products industry with a community vessel for constant awakening and collaborative innovation.
Founded in 2012, we are a collective of leaders in the natural products industry with decades of experience, playbooks of best practices, and mentorship support for anyone growing a values-aligned natural products brand. We convene, empower, and catalyze leaders to actualize regenerative business models built on the triple bottom line: People, Planet, & Prosperity.
Through carefully curated meetings and workshops, immersive events, and a broad network of industry experts and peers, our CEO Leadership community is provided with the tools and inspiration to make meaningful and lasting change.
