2017 marks Sakata Seed America’s 40th Anniversary since its beginnings in North America and Sakata is ready to celebrate.
“To pay tribute to this anniversary year, we’ve developed a new logo and slogan to illustrate our company’s history and vision for the future - but, that’s not the only way we’re recognizing this milestone. Throughout the year we’ll be celebrating our anniversary by giving back to the employees, customers, industry and community that got us to this point. This accomplishment is only made possible by many positive elements and we want to recognize and share that story all year long!” states Alecia Troy, Senior Marketing Manager.
One of Sakata’s main focuses for the 40th year celebration is the ’40 Acts of Kindness’ initiative. Sakata has committed to contribute to 40 organizations aimed to promote and benefit health, wellbeing, community and industry progress through either monetary gifts or volunteerism. ‘’A big part of why we do what we do is that we see the downstream benefits of bringing beautiful flowers and healthy vegetables to the consumer. It’s nice to come to work knowing you’re making a positive impact on people’s lives, and we want to celebrate our 40th by increasing our level of commitment to this mindset,” continues Troy.
40 Acts of Kindness includes national non-profit organizations, like the American Heart Association, as well as smaller, local outfits dedicated to bettering the communities where Sakata offices are located, such as the Morgan Hill Community Garden and Monterey County Ag Education, as well as communities of our Sakata Mexico and Sakata Guatemala affiliates, like Tiempo Nuevo de Guadalajara.
