· 51/100Good to Know
Greyston's sourcing story centers on social mission rather than ingredient traceability—we could not find evidence of named suppliers, origin disclosure, or ingredient-level certifications (USDA Organic, Fair Trade) on their brownie/cake range. Ingredient lists appear standard for commercial baked goods (likely containing emulsifiers, preservatives, refined sugars) with no third-party verification of sourcing ethics. Processing is contract manufacturing scale with no named master baker or roast/bake-date stamping. Packaging uses standard commercial boxes; we found no evidence of recyclable/refillable primary packaging or PCR content claims. Their B-Corp certification and nonprofit structure are genuine and admirable, but supply-chain transparency (cocoa origin, flour sourcing, labor practices upstream) lags sector leaders. Opportunity: publish a transparent supplier map, pursue Fair Trade or Direct Trade cocoa certification, stamp bake dates, and upgrade primary packaging to compostable or refillable formats to align ingredient/craft rigor with their ethical brand promise.
About our research
Every brand on Oras is independently researched across five pillars: material quality, construction and craftsmanship, longevity and repairability, sustainability and ethics, and design philosophy. We use a consistent framework so you can compare brands meaningfully.
Oras does not sell products directly. We connect you to the brand's own site. We may earn a small affiliate commission, but this never influences our research or which brands we feature.
