Kwik Lok has released its 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, outlining the company’s commitments and quantifiable results to unlock opportunity, improve well-being, protect resources and foster innovation. Two years ago, Kwik Lok announced its “Fresh Start” initiative to build on the company’s 60-year history of doing the right thing for employees, communities and the planet. Now, Kwik Lok’s CSR report highlights the company’s next phase: “Path Forward.”. As part of this, the company plans to double down on its commitments
to innovation, equity and social responsibility that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Kwik Lok CEO Don Carrell said: “This year has been a year unlike any other. Recent global issues have highlighted opportunities for improvement, and by living our values daily, we believe Kwik Lok, our employees and our customers can be a significant force for good. Kwik Lok had a Fresh Start a few years ago, and I am enthusiastic as we look toward the Path Forward to build upon this momentum.” The report also notes Kwik Lok’s 2025 commitments
in opportunity, well-being, protection and innovation, including its goal to achieve zero

Mars brand KIND acquires healthy snacking company Nature’s Bakery
Healthy snacking leader KIND has announced that it has entered an agreement to acquire Nature’s Bakery – a family-owned company that offers wholesome snacks.
This partnership is expected to extend Mars’ portfolio of businesses in the health and wellness space and build on KIND and Mars’ shared vision to build out a platform of brands and products that make wholesome snacking choices more readily available to people everywhere. Nature’s Bakery was built on a promise to always deliver better- for-you snacks that “taste as
good as they make you feel”. This planned transaction advances KIND’s commitment to create a foremost health and wellness platform as a separate business within Mars. Daniel Lubetzky, Founder and Executive Chairman of KIND
said: “If you look at pantries across the country, odds are you will find KIND and Nature’s Bakery products sitting side-by- side. Both brands have created loyal followings by being true to their unique value propositions. It comes as no surprise that,
along with KIND, they remain one of the growth leaders within the snack bar category. We are excited to welcome them to the KIND family and support the team’s next chapter as part of our growing health & wellness platform.”
