CONNECTING PEOPLE,
PLANTS & PLANET
TO CREATE HEALING
Every business should have a purpose beyond the bottom line.
The single-minded pursuit of profit that so many businesses have
ecosystems across the world.
Since our beginnings in 1987, we have held a single higher purpose close
to our heart: connecting people, plants, and planet to create healing.
In 2019, we proudly completed our first year as a Certified B
Corporation®, joining forces with other purpose-driven companies
leading a global movement of using business as a force for good.
“Brands must make a choice about what they stand
for, and simply selling a high-quality product is no
longer enough.”
- ANGELA MCELWEE, President & CEO
Our goal each year is to focus efforts to increase our B Impact Score,
elevate our commitment and accountability, and deepen our impact
work across all aspects of the organization.
“Every step creating an herbal supplement has an impact on the overall
environment,” said Stacey Gillespie, Brand Director. “For an herbal
company, we take this very seriously and into consideration in every
decision that we make. Sustainability is a mantra to really foster evolution.”
