Weleda

B Corp has assessed the social and environmental performance, from supply chain and input materials to charitable giving and employee benefits.

Weleda has been championing the importance of soil health since 1921.

The Demeter standard was introduced in 1928 based on Rudolf Steiner’s work and views on holistic farming. Demeter’s principles include regeneration, integration of nature and human beings, and ecological and social responsibility. The Biodynamic mark means that farms meet the organic standard including the prohibition of synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, but then it goes much further. Emphasis is on the generation of farm inputs out of the living dynamics of the farm itself, rather than being imported from the outside. Dependence on imported materials for fertility and pest control is reduced. Water conservation is considered. Farms are required to maintain at least 10% of total acreage as a biodiversity set aside.

Weleda has partnered with TreeSisters to plant over 50,000 trees.

Living Wage Foundation has accredited this company as an employer that pays a 'living wage' to all staff.
