Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE NON-GMO PROJECT OFFERS RIGOROUS PRODUCT VERIFICATION AND TRUSTWORTHY EDUCATION THAT EMPOWERS PEOPLE TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES, THE PLANET, AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.
PRODUCT VERIFICATION PROGRAM - THE NON-GMO PROJECT IS AMERICA'S ONLY THIRD-PARTY VERIFICATION FOR NON-GMO FOOD AND PRODUCTS. WITH MORE THAN 60,000 NON-GMO PROJECT VERIFIED PRODUCTS, THE NON-GMO PROJECT SEAL IS THE MOST WIDELY RECOGNIZED AND TRUSTED NON-GMO LABEL IN THE MARKET. EVERY PRODUCT CARRYING THE BUTTERFLY HAS MET THE RIGOROUS REQUIREMENTS OF THE NON-GMO PROJECT STANDARD. THE STANDARD IS INFORMED BY INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND REFLECTS A DYNAMIC RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES. AS NEW GMO TECHNOLOGIES ENTER THE MARKET, THE NON-GMO STANDARD REMAINS THE MOST MEANINGFUL AND ACHIEVABLE WAY FOR SUPPLIERS, BRANDS AND RETAILERS TO SHOW THEIR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING CONSUMERS TRANSPARENT CHOICE IN THE MARKETPLACE.
OUTREACH & EDUCATION - OUTREACH AND EDUCATION ARE A KEY COMPONENT OF THE NON-GMO PROJECT'S MISSION. WE EDUCATE THE OVER 3,000 VERIFIED BRANDS WE WORK WITH SO THAT THEY CAN INFORM RETAILERS AND SHOPPERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING AND BUILDING THE NON-GMO FOOD SUPPLY. OUR RESEARCH TEAM ACTIVELY MONITORS THE BIOTECH LANDSCAPE AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE EDUCATION OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS. WE ALSO DIRECTLY ENGAGE THE PUBLIC WITH CURATED CONTENT THAT IS SHARED VIA OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS (1.2 MILLION FACEBOOK, 20K INSTAGRAM, 125K TWITTER, 4K LINKEDIN FOLLOWERS), NEWSLETTERS, NEW GMO ALERTS, ONLINE CHANNELS (WWW.NONGMOPROJECT.ORG AND WWW.LIVINGNONGMO.ORG), AND OUR NON-GMO PROJECT SHOPPING APP. THE NON-GMO PROJECT IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN EVENTS ACROSS THE U.S. AND CANADA.
