Neal's Yard Remedies Autumn / Winter 2020 Issue 24

From supporting indigenous communities who harvest our premium ingredients, to using 100% renewable electricity across our business, we act sustainably and ethically to protect this beautiful planet for everyone. Planet friendly beauty We’re ethical We’re the world’s first health and beauty brand to be awarded 100/100 for ethics (in an independent audit by the Ethical Company Organisation) and the first in the UK to achieve Fair for Life certification, which ensures farmers and producers get a fair deal for their work and a social premium for community projects. We’ve also pioneered FairWild® certified ingredients, which ensures sustainable wild harvesting and a fair deal throughout the supply chain. Reducing our packaging impact We’re fond of our blue bottles. We think they look great. The blue pigment protects against sunlight, helping pro- tect and preserve the precious natural ingredients within. We use glass bottles where suitable. For where we do use plastic, all our blue plastic shower, hair, bath and skincare bottles up to 300ml are made from recycled material, with a target for all our packaging to be recyclable, compostable or reusable by 2025. We use paper and card from responsibly managed sources.

We are pioneers in certified organic health and beauty, having been certified by the Soil Association since 1991. We follow the Precautionary Principle – we maximise our use of pure, natural and organic ingredients, meaning you won't find anything in our products we believe could cause you or the planet harm. We believe in honesty. Every organic ingredient is marked with a single asterisk * and every ingredient from organic origin is marked with a double asterisk **.
