?????CLIMATE WEEK NYC RECAP! ???? What an impactful time we had at #ClimateWeek NYC 2024! SIMPLi popped up at 10+ events and our co-founder Sarela Herrada represented SIMPLi on multiple panels, sharing our journey and vision for a regenerative future and stronger food systems. ??We started off the week at the Food Tank & The James Beard Foundation Climate Week NYC Kick-Off, where Sarela Herrada spoke alongside Julia Collins (Founder of Planet FWD), Andy Levitt (Founder of Brightly), and Corey Blumenthal (Sustainability Specialist at Shake Shack) about climate solutions that get real results. ??Together on a panel at the Climate Change x Social Equity Salon with Amy Auguston, Katia Osei, and Stacy Flynn, Sarela Herrada shared her inspiring insights in discussions about the intersection of climate and equity. ??Wrapping up our week, Sarela Herrada gave a personal and powerful address at "The State of Regenerative Agriculture” with Why Regenerative where she dove deep into how businesses like SIMPLi are leading the way in the regenerative movement and why she has hope for the future. It was incredible to witness the enthusiasm, energy, and community driving this movement forward. From meaningful conversations to actionable solutions and advice, Climate Week NYC reinforced our belief that regenerative practices and working in tandem with others are key to addressing climate change. Thank you to everyone who came together to help make this week such a success; we’re already counting down the days to next year! Did you attend Climate Week? What was your favorite moment?

THE STORY OF SIMPLi PACKAGING ???? There’s a LOT that goes into product packaging design - from functionality to materials to storytelling, packaging plays a huge role in not only preserving and storing products, but also in conveying a brand’s story and mission. At SIMPLi, we are passionate about bringing global flavors directly to your table, honoring tradition and heritage, and educating others on the importance of knowing where your food comes from (and who helped grow that food, too!). Using packaging as a vessel to tell these stories while prioritizing more sustainable materials is a powerful tool of connection, communication, and change. From using eco-friendly materials to showcasing the beautiful landscapes where our ingredients hail from, we want our packaging to transport you around the world and bring authentic flavors and stories directly to your kitchen - all while being gentle on our planet, too. ??
