Sustainability and social impact are part of our core values, with our BCorp certification and Refill movement only being a part of our efforts. In 2025, we introduced the 10% Profit Pledge, a commitment to allocate 10% of our annual net profit to initiatives that improve the wellbeing of people and the planet. This pledge underscores our dedication to creating a positive impact beyond our products.

At the heart of the Profit Pledge is the mission to "Re-connect to human nature."
