Do the Right Thing
While EDUN’s model is one direction distributors can go to support socially responsible practices, its not the only direction. Angela Wurst, marketing coordinator for Crystal D, St. Paul, Minn., expressed that the company’s core values inherently create a corporate environment that revolves around respect for others, stewardship for the environment and community outreach. “One of our best community outreach events is [working] with an organization called Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit organization that sends hand-packed meals formulated specially for starving children to more than 60 countries around the world,” said Wurst. “We choose an afternoon each summer, and the entire company goes to a nearby location to pack meals. Last year, we beat our previous record and packed 27,216 meals. It was enough food to feed 75 children every day for one year.”
