Sustainability Story

We know that to maintain the health of our planet and ourselves, it's our duty to strive for sustainability. We are implementing a Reduction Action Plan, including reducing emissions from our upstream shipping operations, reducing in-person business travel, and ethical and sustainable sourcing, manufacturing, and recyclable packaging whenever possible. As a key part of our journey, we've chosen to offset our impact by being Climate Neutral, and donating to 1% for the Planet.
