The appointment reinforces Hain’s commitment to advance its global impact strategy and build purpose-driven brands that have a positive impact on people and planet.
For more than a decade Jenkins has led impact for baby and children’s food brand Ella’s Kitchen at Hain. There he spearheaded a ‘sector leading’ Climate Action Strategy, oversaw the brand’s B-Corp certification since 2016 and led the brand’s advocacy work on food, childhood poverty and biodiversity.
Jenkins will work with the impact team to further advance the company’s global impact strategy and progress the goals outlined across three core areas: Healthier Products, Healthier People and Healthier Planet. He will also continue to provide focused leadership and oversight to the impact work at Ella’s Kitchen.
Jenkins commented: “I am pleased to have been trusted to build on the brilliant impact work already delivered by my colleagues at Hain Celestial over the years.”
“I have always believed that if we are to address social and environmental challenges, business needs to be part of that solution and lead the change. We have a strong base to build on as we work together to grow our impact and deliver meaningful change for people, communities, and the planet, on a global scale.”
