Telling stories with the goal of building a consumer revolution that nurtures the health of the next seven generations and beyond.

Thinking Seven Generations Ahead

When we look around, we’re constantly inspired by all the caring, mindful people we see who are committed to leaving the world a better place than they found it. That shared spirit—of making healthy choices that benefit our families today, and the greater good for generations to come—is the spirit of our community, Generation Good. And no matter where you live, or how old you are, if you’re someone who’s doing small things every day to nurture your family and protect the planet we all share, you’re already connected to thousands who are making healthy choices and helping put more good into the world. YOU are Generation Good, and we’re all in this together!

I say the more trees our planet has, the better off our planet will be.

Meet the Seventh Generation Social Mission Board

From our very beginning (30 years ago!), Seventh Generation has been a mission-driven company out to prove that business can be a force for good in the world. Every day we’re inspired knowing that we’re part of something that’s transforming an industry, fostering the health of our environment, and inspiring a consumer revolution to nurture the health of the next seven generations. Our mission is truly what drives us, and its importance is why we recently created a Social Mission Board tasked with keeping that mission burning bright and challenging us to expand its reach.

Pulling Out of Paris Climate Accord Puts the Health of This Generation at Risk

As a company that is committed to considering our impact on the health of the next seven generations, we are incredibly disturbed by the current administration’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement. There are several scary, negative consequences of this decision, but perhaps the most disturbing consequence will be on human health.
