| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | Founded in 1989, RFI's primary tagline is "From Field To Formula®". We partner with our suppliers and customers to develop vertical networks of natural certified organic, clean label ingredients, formulas and finished products, and strive to establish supply chains that promote quality, sustainability, social and environmental care as well as traceability From Field To Formula®. While most of our fair trade focus is currently on Yerba Mate supply chains, we take this commitment to partner with producers, manufacturers and brand stakeholders very seriously. Our continued goal is to bring our customers the very finest natural ingredients and products that reflect the very best in innovation, social, environmental, economic and sustainability practices. | ||||
