Silk Soymilk Is
Helping the
Environment
Silk Soymilk is healthy for you and your environment. Silk is committed to making the world a healthier place through socially responsible and environmentally sustainable business practices. Here’s how we do it.
- Silk Soymilk purchases wind power, an environmentally friendly electricity source, to offset 100 percent of the electricity used in the production of its products.
- Silk Soymilk has been a recipient of the prestigious Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, a top honor that recognizes the brand’s role in using and promoting renewable energy.
- Silk Soymilk has been a proud supporter of Farm Aid since 2002. We stand behind Farm Aid’s mission to keep family farmers on their land and ensure a safe, healthy food supply for all Americans.
- Silk Soymilk supports America’s farmers and primarily uses organic soy beans in its products. In fact, it uses more than 700,000 bushels of U.S. organic soy beans annually, farmed on more than 3,000 acres of organic farmland.
- Silk Soymilk uses a mixture of organic and natural, non-genetically modified soy beans. Organic soy beans are grown with traditional plant breeding and farming practices, which reduces the amount of pesticides in the air, soil, water, and most importantly, the food supply. In fact, organic soy beans actually return nutrients to the soil.
- Silk Soymilk uses soy beans that when farmed; replenish the earth. Soy provides nutrients to the soil, unlike other agricultural products that deplete soil nutrients.
- In addition to picking our beans with Mother Nature in mind, we make every effort to choose responsibly when sourcing our other ingredients. For example, we make our Silk Creamer with palm oil that is produced using sustainable farming and processing techniques to protect our natural resources. Our palm oil supplier has pioneered responsible practices in palm oil production, and is an active participant in the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
Natural foods may take extra care to grow, but Silk Soymilk believes the end result is worth it. Silk soy beans make good-for-you soy products that taste delicious, naturally. Check out our other great-tasting Silk soy products.
