Description: Company that provides Consumer food products that taste just like the big guys, but gives 50% of profits to projects that promote sustainable change in Canada and the world. CONSUMERS CHANGING NEEDS: The CPG industry (Consumer Packaged Goods) is facing a tipping point: consumers are looking for food products that contribute positively to the world (79% of consumers said they would switch to a brand that supports a cause given all else equal). WHITE SPACE: The only player in this category is Newman's Own, who targets a somewhat older generation. OPPORTUNITY: There is an opportunity to provide consumers a food product brand that makes them feel good about their everyday grocery shopping, while leveraging the scale of grocery retailers to bring about sustainable change.
