BeOn Holdings is an umbrella brand for the highest quality companies within the organic foods, health & beauty products, and functional foods industries. BeOn develops brands that are recognized for their unmatched levels of purity, nutrition, and ecological & social integrity. BeOn Holdings' first acquisition was Essential Living Foods, an importer of high quality, organic superfoods (foods very high in nutritional value and usually also high in anti-oxidants).
BeOn Holdings became a Founding B Corporation because we want to a) help "announce" our corporate values with third party validation, and b) support the widespread adoption of the B Corp standards and mission by many, many other organizations.
BeOn and ELF will consistently provide the highest levels of quality, purity, integrity and sustainability in its products, business and relationships. Their core principles are: conscious consumerism, direct relationships with their farmers and suppliers, respect for and protection of the environment, and respect for the communities where they do business.
The Change We Seek™
BeOn Holdings' mission is to transform human health and lifestyle positively by providing the highest quality food, nutrition, health and beauty products to the retail supply chain as well as direct to consumers.
• Conscious Consumerism: Empowering consumers to create a better world by gathering the most ecologically friendly and socially responsible products in one convenient place.
• Equitable Trade: Fair Trade and beyond: every product they carry empowers organic farming communities by re-investing profits in sustainable community development.
• Source Verified: They believe everyone should know where their food comes from and how it’s made…everyone should know about the impact their products have on the world. To this end, BeOn Holdings traces every product back to its source, and carefully verifies the purity, equality and environmental integrity of the entire process.
• Unrivaled Quality and Purity: Through Source Verified, they ensure the freshest, most nutrient-rich superfoods on the planet - food you can trust for nourishment, healing, and elevation!
