Sustainability – for a future full of butterflies
Sustainability has been part of our DNA for over 40 years. As a pioneer in the organic sector, we are committed to biodiversity, fair trade, and organic farming . Today, we are certified according to the demanding CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) standard – a seal that makes sustainable business practices visible in all dimensions.
Sustainability in practice
Nature is our inspiration – protecting it is our responsibility. Sustainability is our daily practice – confirmed by the demanding CSE standard (Certified Sustainable Economics). The cross-industry CSE certification confirms a comprehensively audited sustainable business practice on ethical, environmental, social, and economic levels, such as climate-friendly production using 100% renewable energy, social projects, and organic growth.
Fair partnerships – on equal terms worldwide
For over 40 years, we have cultivated direct, fair partnerships with small-scale farmers and cooperatives worldwide – many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. To highlight outstanding commitment, we have created the "Grand Cru" label. It was created. It distinguishes essential oils that not only stand for organic quality, but also for social or ecological added value – such as educational initiatives or projects for local communities.
