Leezen

For over two decades, Leezen has stood as a beacon of integrity in the organic movement, shaping a world where ethical consumption and sustainable living go hand in hand. Founded in 1998, Leezen’s journey began with a simple yet profound vision—to restore harmony between humanity and nature. In a time when organic farming was often dismissed as impractical, Leezen took a stand, forging deep partnerships with local farmers to ensure their hard work and dedication bore fruit.

Nurturing an Organic Future

Recognizing the immense challenges organic farmers faced, Leezen positioned itself as more than just a retailer—it became a lifeline. The company committed to purchasing all the organic produce that farmers could cultivate, regardless of quantity or imperfections. This unwavering support not only encouraged more farmers to adopt organic practices but also laid the foundation for a thriving, sustainable ecosystem where farmers, vendors, and consumers worked together toward a common goal.

To further strengthen this mission, Leezen collaborated with processed food companies to develop nutritious, plant-based snacks and packaged foods. By transforming surplus produce and items with short shelf life into wholesome products, Leezen reduced food waste and maximized farmers’ earnings. This innovative approach ensured that every harvest found a purpose and that sustainability remained at the core of every business decision.

Commitment to Purity and Quality

Leezen is uncompromising in its dedication to providing food that is natural, healthy, and simple. Every product in its catalog is crafted with care, using predominantly local organic ingredients while strictly rejecting genetically modified components. Leezen’s commitment extends beyond food—its products contain no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, ensuring that the natural taste and integrity of the ingredients remain intact.

Leezen’s philosophy prioritizes mindful nutrition. All its food products are free from eggs, and oil, salt, and sugar are kept to a minimum, promoting a cleaner and healthier diet. In its pursuit of transparency, Leezen differentiates and labels its organic products based on material grades and production conditions, building consumer trust through honesty and accountability.

Beyond food, Leezen’s environmental consciousness influences every aspect of its operations. The company actively promotes biodegradable, eco-friendly, and human-safe materials, raising awareness about the environmental impact of conventional farming and industrial practices. By advocating for organic cotton, Leezen highlights the devastating reality that traditional cotton farming accounts for up to 20% of global pesticide use.

A Business Built on Goodwill

From its humble beginnings, Leezen has grown into Taiwan’s largest organic retail chain, with more than 130 stores and over 30 overseas service locations across the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. But numbers alone do not define its success—it is the unwavering commitment to its values that has earned Leezen the trust of thousands of farmers, hundreds of vendors, and millions of devoted consumers.

Each year, Leezen continues to expand its portfolio, adding over 100 new products that align with its mission of sustainable living. Beyond food, its offerings extend to organic cotton clothing, eco-conscious household goods, and even books and audio resources that promote mindful living. Through these efforts, Leezen has solidified its position as a recognized social enterprise with a mission to "rejuvenate the mother earth and purify the mind."
