We use limited packaging that emphasizes natural, recycled, and/or reused materials. We always print on recycled paper. Our bottles are always glass and our displays are handmade from ecologically harvested wood with natural finishes. We use plastic or synthetic materials only when there is no other reasonable alternative. We tithe financial support to local, national and international environmental and social organizations. We also supply product donations to social programs throughout the world. We are committed to ecological transportation strategies such as employee carpooling, a 4-day work-week, and consolidation of trips. We strive to conserve electricity, water and paper wherever possible; and we actively recycle glass, paper, tin, cardboard and plastic. We provide our staff with preventative, holistic health coverage. We provide retirement and savings benefits to our staff, by investing in the socially conscious Calvert fund. We use only earth-friendly, non-chemical cleaners in our office and production spaces, eco-friendly lighting, LCD computer screens, and other sustainable measures. We are a small, locally-owned company and care about the people we encounter and the world we share.
