About Sara

As a Sustainability Analyst for the Natural and Organic Operating Unit at General Mills (comprised of Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Epic Provisions, and Muir Glen), Sara focuses on improving supply chain transparency and embedding sustainability into business processes. She is part of the team coordinating General Mills’ recently announced ambition to advance regenerative agriculture on one million acres by 2030. Sara also leads the division’s sustainability reporting.

Sara’s 10 years in sustainability has focused on operational efficiency, employee engagement, and behavior change. Prior to General Mills, Sara worked at Northstar Recycling, coordinating waste diversion for over a hundred manufacturing facilities, including Starbucks, Mars, and US Foods.

Sara says she has gained invaluable insight and mentorship from the Sustainable Brands community ever since attending her first SB conference at the age of 19.
