Helping Ensure The Greater Good™ for All

In short, The Greater Good™ is the highest ethical choice any of us can make to maximize our overall well-being. That means doing what’s best for you, your family and the environment.

At Burt’s Bees, ensuring The Greater Good™ for our consumers, our employees and the world around us is a hard job, but we do it by adhering to a strong set of beliefs that we apply to every choice we make, every day.

We are committed to Corporate Social Responsibility.

You can learn more about what actions we take to reach our goals and how these choices are benefiting our consumers and our community by reading more in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reports to see how we continue to work harder every year for the Greater Good. After many years of pioneering sustainable practices and leading the Natural Personal Care industry, we intend to rigorously measure our progress and have set ambitious, quantitative goals to better assess our achievements and understand our challenges.

We believe natural products should be 100% natural.

Half of our products are 100% natural and we’re working hard to meet our goal of 100% natural formulas for all our products. Plus, you will never find any Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates or Petrochemicals in any Burt's Bees products.

We believe companies should be transparent.

Personal care and skin care products' manufacturers have the responsibility to fully disclose their ingredients so that consumers can make the most informed decisions. We list the percent natural on every product label. What's more, we strive to educate consumers — and the industry — about natural and keeping to the highest standards.

We believe all packaging should hold to the highest standard possible of environmental sensitivity.

We use packaging with the highest levels of Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials. Our packaging is designed to be recyclable and have the lowest impact on the environment possible.

We believe in preserving the rights of both humans and animals.

We commit to the highest standards of fair trade and working conditions in the sourcing of our products. We also pledge to never test our ingredients or products on animals.

We believe in giving back.

Through The Burt's Bees Greater Good Foundation, we pledge at least 10% of all burtsbees.com sales revenues to our selected partners.

We believe in taking care of the people who make our business what it is.

We provide an extremely rich and diverse workplace that focuses on the personal growth, development and well-being of the individual through comprehensive benefits. We set the highest standard in employee health education and benefits, safety, development and mutual code of conduct.
