Clifbar is a grassroots, homegrown company that started when founder, Gary Erikson, was on a bike ride and took a bite of an energy bar and thought, “I could make a better bar than this.” While they are passionately dedicated to making the best energy bar on the market with organic ingredients (since 2003 they’ve purchased nearly 100 million pounds of organic food), free of transfats, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup, they are just as dedicated to their values. Their five aspirations are sustaining our planet, sustaining our community, sustaining our people, sustaining our business, and sustaining our brands.

Clifbar contributes 1% of sales to environmental organizations committed to doing the right thing (See Philanthropy).
Clifbar’s employees are dedicated to volunteering at least 2080 hours (the amount of hours one person works per year). In 2009 alone employees volunteered over 5500 hours and are set to break that record in 2010. Some of their projects include building recreational trails and volunteering at Diabetes Camp. Clifbar even has a company wide community service day and fosters the spirit of giving in its employees that is unmatched. (See Volunteering).
Clifbar started In Good Company, a community works collaboration among businesses to promote healthy food, safe housing, and environmental activism. They felt they could do more by joining with others than they could do on their own (See Collaboration).
