Organic September marks a month-long celebration of all things organic and with this year marking the 50th anniversary of organic certification through the Soil Association, we’re delighted to be a part of making this year’s festivities the biggest and brightest yet.
Organic September is designed to raises awareness of the benefits of organic and honours businesses, brands, farms, and retailers who work in harmony with nature to benefit people, wildlife and the planet.
The 50th anniversary of the organic movement celebrates its legacy and impact, providing confidence that organic practices can contribute to a more sustainable world.
This September, we’re encouraging you to participate in Organic September as one small swap makes a world of difference! The next time you find yourself in a shop looking for something and are confused by the breadth of options, look for the organic logo*. This will provide you with trust and reassurance within a crowded market. It demonstrates a brand’s commitment to people, planet, and wildlife, and that they work with nature, instead of against it.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got you.
