Clif Bar Claimed Company
Clif Bar was born on a bike. In 1990, Gary Erickson set off on a 175-mile bike ride. Exhausted and hungry, he realized he couldn’t take another bite of the energy bars he brought along. In that moment he now calls ‘the epiphany,’ he had the idea to make a better tasting energy bar.
Guided by Five Aspirations – Sustaining our People, our Business, our Brands, our Community and the Planet – Clif Bar is a family- and employee- owned company that loves food. We believe that food provides health, joy and energy to do the things we are passionate about. The food we create is good for people and the planet.
We believe that happy, healthy people create the best food. We want to help our people live the lives they want to live so we’ve created an environment where our people can grow and succeed both personally and professionally. read more

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Clif Bar
We’re working to reduce our ecological footprint in everything we do – from the field to the final products. This means that, in our day-to-day work, we’re thinking about more organics, less packaging, more planet-friendly transportation, less landfill and partners that keep us on our toes.
Check out our progress here --> https://www.clifbar.com/stories/our-sustainability-journey
Think Like A Tree
We’re working to reduce our environmental footprint in everything we do, from the field to the final product. We describe our vision for sustainable food production like this:
Our food will be made with sustainable, organic ingredients; baked with clean, renewable energy; packed in environmentally friendly packaging; and delivered by transportation that doesn’t pollute.
We’ve made significant strides on our sustainability journey, but there’s more work to be done. And while that original vision still guides us, today we think about it in simpler terms: Let’s create a business that thinks like a tree.
Trees run on 100 percent renewable energy, recycle all waste, and sustain and improve the places they grow. Think like a tree is more than a metaphor—it’s a model for thinking sustainably. Nature has a lot to teach us.
To learn more about how we’ve been transforming our model of the tree into real business practices, visit our Planet Aspiration Page below.
https://www.clifbar.com/who-we-are/our-aspirations#sustaining-the-planet
We started Clif Bar Family Foundation in 2006 to support grassroots groups with inspiring ideas and limited funds. We believe in the wisdom of starting small, seeing what works, and growing it genuinely.
Over the years, we’ve been proud to support hundreds of organizations that are working tirelessly to conserve wild places and open spaces, advocate for pedestrian- and bike-friendly communities, and expand urban forests and restore watersheds. These nonprofits often are on the front lines, striving to safeguard public health and the environment by expanding organic farming acreage, improving local and global food security, investigating the impact of environmental toxins, and tackling the root causes of climate change.
We look forward to building new relationships with pioneering organizations during the months and years ahead.
