Why Should My Business Be AUM Certified?
As consumer preferences shift towards plant-based and ethical diets, aligning your business with these values through AUM Certification can help attract a growing, diverse clientele. Recent data shows that approximately 6% of U.S. consumers identify as vegan, a sixfold increase from 1% in 2014 (PlantProteins.co). Additionally, a 2022 survey found that 29% of American adults sometimes, usually, or always eat vegan meals, while 63% do the same for vegetarian meals (The Vegetarian Resource Group).
Many individuals in Jain, Sikh, vegan, and vegetarian communities are particularly strict about cross-contact with foods that fall outside of their dietary guidelines, with some choosing not to eat from establishments for fear of cross-contact issues. AUM Certification gives these customers confidence that their values are being respected.
Our goal is to support business owners in tapping into these expanding markets by helping them implement clear, transparent standards. In doing so, AUM Certification makes consumers feel seen, respected, and safe in their choices, while enabling businesses to grow with a loyal, value-driven customer base.
“In a world where choices define us, respect for dietary preferences is not just about food—it’s about honoring values and fostering trust.”
