We can always do better! In fiscal year 2020, we aim to achieve the following goals:

FY20 GOALS

• Work proactively with organic sources to drive down costs

At King Arthur Flour, we believe in the power of baking to make a difference — for our employee owners, communities and planet. As a Benefit Corporation, our directors and officers upheld and acted in accordance with Vermont standards. We use the B Lab Impact Assessment to measure our public benefit. We increased our score by 4.5 points to 122.5, well above the median of 58, and, as always, we aim to do better. In 2020, we are continuing to focus on decreasing our carbon footprint with work to bring greater transparency and rigor to our sourcing.
