Sustainability is central to the future of tea, supporting environmental care, responsible production, and strong communities. Established in 2016, the North American Sustainability Awards recognize global efforts advancing these priorities, guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
​
These awards recognize and showcase:
• Highlight initiatives that go beyond traditional business metrics and contribute to the well-being of the industry, the environment, and the people connected to it
• Share these efforts across the tea community to promote collective responsibility, collaboration, and greater awareness of industry progress
• Encourage others to adopt a similar commitment to sustainability, helping elevate tea as a true Hero Crop
