» Environmentally friendly sourcing and processing for raw materials. We use around 1,000 natural raw materials
for our products. Roses and pomegranates from Turkey, iris and argan
oil from Morocco, sesame seed oil from Mexico and lemons from Argentina
and Italy are just a few examples. All around the world, we promote
biodiversity and support organic and socially sustainable cultivation
projects.

» Biodynamic® cultivation.
The company's own biodynamic cultivation of medicinal plants has a long
tradition. In addition to the gardens in Switzerland and France,
Schwäbisch Gmünd in Germany is primarily the central production site for
plant extracts. Here, in the largest medicinal plant garden in Europe,
around 260 species are cultivated, including calendula and euphrasia.

» Fair Trade
is something we’ve been
passionately committed to even before there was a popular buzzword for
it. It’s an organized social movement by which companies empower small
producers and promote sustainability. When sourcing raw materials, we
work together with local partners, small-scale farming initiatives and
cultivation projects around the world. In order to gather all of the
ingredients we need for our products, we develop and cultivate
partnerships throughout the world while committing to sustainable and
fair practices.

» Climate neutrality. We aim for CO2-neutral transport of goods and packages. The conversion
to renewable energies, environmentally friendly construction and
compensation projects - for example, Dutch composting company
Soil&More - contribute to reducing greenhouse emissions and
optimizing our ecological footprint.Since our
founding in 1921, we have placed great importance on our ecological,
social and economic responsibilities to respect the world around us. We
believe the well-being of our planet is vital to the well-being of the
people who call it home.
