Earlier this week, we announced a leadership succession plan, naming Wendy Davidson as our next President and CEO, effective January 1, 2023. We are excited to welcome Wendy as our new CEO and expect a seamless management transition. Current CEO Mark Schiller has played an instrumental role in simplifying the Company and instilling greater operational discipline throughout the organization, and we are foundationally stronger as a result. We look forward to his continued contributions and insights as a member of our Board. Wendy is the right choice to lead Hain Celestial through our next phase of growth and we look forward to welcoming her to Hain in January.

On #givingtuesday and throughout the year Hain Celestial Group looks to give back to communities in need. Hain Celestial’s Jake Boyer, Maureen Kohler and Mountville plant teams, Strategic Logistics Co. LLC and Cub Scout Pack 28 worked in partnership to donate Sensible Portions and Terra snacks to Community Reach, a food bank located in Red Lion, PA. Thank you, Fox43 News for sharing this locally!
Hain’s Bentonville team recently volunteered with Feed the Children, one of the leading anti-hunger organizations. Our team helped organize the event and packed bags of Hain products and distributed them to the local families. Feed the Children also engaged their local partner, Feed the 479, and donated over $100,000 worth of food and essentials to 320 local families in the Bentonville/Rogers community. Hain has been donating food to Feed the Children for many years and is proud to support its no hunger holidays campaign. This partnership helps Hain achieve its community ESG goals by ensuring that all unsold products that are fit to use go to someone in need.
Hain Celestial recently published its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Update which details the progress we’ve made against the ESG goals we set last year regarding climate, packaging, and diversity and inclusion. When we published our 2021 ESG Strategy, we worked to develop measurable, specific and time bound goals to hold ourselves accountable and prioritize transparency. We are focused on improving our metrics, further developing a culture of ESG for all functions, and bringing our regional businesses and brands together to support our ESG strategy.

We are also in the process of identifying group activities to enhance our impact with existing charities.

When you do something you love, does it ever feel like work? Ask Charlie Baden. After 46 years with Celestial Seasonings - Hain’s flagship, iconic tea brand - the Senior Blend Master's passion for creating the perfect teas is still evident as he approaches his retirement this month.

When preparation and hard work are met with opportunity, for the right person the only place to go is up. James LaRue is one of those people. An industrial electrician by trade, James began his career in the meat industry where he discovered his affinity for processes and the intricacies of manufacturing. That intellectual curiosity took him as far as Burkina Faso and then to Hain as a maintenance electrician - one of the first hires at the Trenton, Ontario plant. That was just five years ago! Rapidly promoted to Hain’s Operations Manager, James is hitting his stride – doing what he enjoys and empowering his staff along the way. Running the daily operations while having input on R&D, financial matters, plant efficiency, and employee relations are his wheelhouse. But what fuels him are challenges, finding solutions, and imparting his experiences to others.
As a manufacturer of health and wellness brands with a shared mission “to Inspire Healthier Living for All,” a core principle is understanding how Hain products and operations impact people and our planet, and how to minimize those impacts. Today, we are happy to announce that Hain Celestial’s North America business has joined the How2Recycle® label program. How2Recycle is a U.S.- and Canada-based standardized labeling system that enables companies to clearly communicate how to recycle a package, improving the reliability, completeness and transparency of recyclability claims.
