Burt’s Bees isn’t just another pretty face in the
world of bath and beauty products. The
company started in 1984 with the production of beeswax candles, and evolved
into the lip balm company that we know and love today. “Burt’s Bees has stayed true to a very simple
idea: what you put on your body should be made from the best nature has to
offer” (Burt’s Bees).
Their philosophy states that they look after
their own. “So when we look after our own,
we mean everybody: our employees, our customers, our families, ourselves. And
yes, our environment, too. Our ingredients—right down to the packaging—are
simple, natural, and responsible. We practice what we preach—and we hope to set
the example for others to follow. It's
called The Greater Good. And it's how we're going to help
change the world” (Burt’s Bees).
Not only does the company make natural, environmentally safe
products, they also give back. In 2007,
Burt’s Bees established The Greater Good Foundation, a non-profit organization
designed to further their mission of responsible environmental stewardship. The foundation has raised over $1.2 million,
and even donates to other non-profit charitable organizations. In 2012 alone, $233,000 in proceeds were
donated to 23 organizations, including groups like Habitat for Humanity and The
Pollinator Project.
