History of Seventh Generation
Seventh Generation is an American company founded in 1988, known for its environmentally friendly household and personal care products. The company was established in Burlington, Vermont, with a mission to create sustainable, plant-based products that minimize environmental impact. Inspired by the Iroquois philosophy of considering the effects of decisions on the next seven generations, the company emphasized transparency, responsible sourcing, and reducing plastic waste from the start.
Over the years, Seventh Generation became a leader in the green consumer goods industry, expanding its product line to include biodegradable cleaning supplies, recycled paper products, and non-toxic baby care items. In 2016, the company was acquired by Unilever, which helped increase its reach while maintaining its commitment to sustainability. Today, Seventh Generation continues to advocate for environmental policies, climate action, and corporate responsibility, staying true to its founding vision of creating a healthier world for future generations.
