Our take

A business with a strong ethical statement, Harmless Harvest provides coconut-based products such as coconut water and coconut yogurt alternatives. It upholds fair trade principles throughout its supply chain and markets itself as an ethical brand.

Coconut water is already a massive product in the US, and the company is setting itself aside from its competitors with fair trade principles and by providing micro-filtered coconut water, as opposed to thermally pasteurized.

With ethical products soaring in popularity, as climate change and human rights movements push companies to make the right choices, Harmless Harvest's pre-emptive focus on fair practice and low impact should give it a leg-up in the market.
