"We congratulate Abt Associates on being the first company to achieve certification to NSF/ANSI 391.1. Certification and third-party validation are vital to creating trust around ESG claims in today's business landscape. This standard enables professional service providers to make measurable commitments towards sustainability and communicate progress with customers and key stakeholders. By achieving certification, Abt Associates has demonstrated their commitment to improving environmental impact, social equity, economic governance, and supply chain sustainability.

"As consumer motivations continue to evolve, we are noticing an increasing demand for healthy food, greater transparency and sustainability in food and its packaging. Third-party certification brings credibility to our clients, enabling them to reinforce their values. Recent studies by Nielsen on the Conscious Consumer Spending Index found that about 73% of consumers want to change their consumption habits to reduce environmental impact. Label claim certifications for products such as organic, plant-based, vegan and non-GMO help brands connect with these conscious consumers." - Veggies from Mexico, Sept. 2022
