Wyld Works
2025 Impact Report

“Our Impact Report highlights the work we’ve done for our community and the planet. It’s also a way to hold ourselves accountable to the goals we set — a reminder that commitments only matter when we measure them, learn from them, and keep pushing to do better.”

Every year gives us a chance to look at what we’ve done and ask ourselves a simple question: Are we living up to the values we claim? Our Impact Report highlights the work we’ve done for our community and the planet. It’s also a way to hold ourselves accountable to the goals we set — a reminder that commitments only matter when we measure them, learn from them, and keep pushing to do better.

This year reminded us that progress doesn’t always move in a straight line. After seeing a dip in our employee VTO hours in 2024, we saw a jump in our engagement reaching over 3,100 hours volunteered this year. We know belief and action don’t always move at the same pace and bridging that gap sometimes takes time and support. On the environmental sustainability front, we continued our carbon reduction initiatives, and while we faced challenges with our compostable dram rollout, we are still on the path to bring them to market. Balancing environmental ambition with quality isn’t simple, and we don’t always hit the mark, but owning our mistakes and being willing to be vulnerable when we fall short is how we keep moving forward.  

Our employees, customers, partners, and communities are the force behind everything we’re building. When people unite around a shared purpose, the impact is undeniable. Their belief in what we’re building opens the door to what’s possible next. 

“The world continues to get worse, not better, but we cannot let the dark clouds win. Hope must not be lost as there are a lot of people and companies pushing for positive outcomes. We’re not slowing down and we’ll continue to do things our way, learning and evolving as we go, with the intention of showing what success looks like for not just for business, but for the world around us.”

— Aaron Morris CEO and Co-Founder

Wyld Works is dedicated to redefining business success by emphasizing social and environmental impact alongside business operations. Guided by our Pillars of Commitment, we support our community and planet through volunteerism, philanthropy, and measurable sustainability practices. This is forever work, and we’re here to stay.

Who We Are:

DEI at Wyld:

2025 was full of changes to the social climate, yet Wyld remained committed to our goal of creating a workplace that is both inclusive and adaptable – one where diverse perspectives fuel innovation and collaboration.

We know that the heart of DEI work is deeply rooted in people, their experiences, and their stories. We are committed to ensuring that all levels of the company have a basic foundational learning of what DEI is through digital and in-person training and how it affects our lives daily. When we say every person, we mean every person.

In 2025, we gained better insight into our staff demographics and the unique challenges our team faces. We will continue to look at how to improve our data to work address those challenges companywide.

Company Demographics:

Equity Team:

Wyld’s Equity Team continued to expand the scope of work within the company this year, with more employees across roles contributing perspective and insight to our shared equity work. In 2025, the team completed its second equity‑centered review of Wyld’s Employee Handbook—this time with a more inclusive and holistic approach. By bringing in more perspectives, especially from support‑level employees, the team helped identify gaps, clarify language, and ensure policies are easier to understand and more accessible. Their insights shaped updates that added visual aids, simplified complex sections, and strengthened alignment with employee needs across the company. Through this expanded, more representative review process, the Equity Team continues to help drive meaningful and lasting change at Wyld.

Compostable Packaging:

This year, we set out to bring a new flagship dram to market—one made from compostable material that could actually break down naturally. The material passed compostable testing, but the dram itself didn’t keep our gummies fresh long enough on the shelf.

Quality isn’t something we compromise on. Gummies should be soft and flavorful, not hard and dry. So, we’re going back to the lab with a new dram mold using the same compostable material.

We’re aiming for in-market testing of the newest design in 2026. Creating packaging that’s kinder to the planet remains a real priority for us—we’re just making sure we get it right.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

At Wyld, we believe in taking accountability for the impact that our manufacturing and distribution practices have on the environment. Each year we use the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s standard to report on our emissions to guide our reduction action plans. Wyld also purchases carbon credits in an effort to compensate for its annual emissions. The green power that Wyld purchases, via renewable energy certificates, supports advocacy for the advancement of clean energy policy, markets, and technology.

VTO Progress:

Wyld encourages all employees to participate in volunteer activities with recognized charities and community organizations. We offer all full-time employees 16 hours per calendar year of paid Volunteer Time Off. If an employee uses all 16 hours, they earn VTO Pro status!

The goal of the volunteer program is to create opportunities for Wyld employees to contribute towards positive social and environmental impacts in our local communities across a variety of event types.
