Below is a list of the companies and organizations we visited for the first phase of the project. While we are not endorsing any products or companies on our site, this list represents a selection of the industry that is thinking about and, to different degrees, acting on issues around quality control, sustainability and equity in their supply chains. These are not the only companies doing so and just because a company isn’t included here does not at all indicate they aren’t actively engaged in these issues. However, individuals at these companies took the time to show us around and explain the work they do and we want to acknowledge their contribution here.

While the information on this site is made possible because of the generous input of individuals from all of these companies, the Sustainable Herbs Program is solely responsible for any opinions and information shared. All mistakes are our own.

Note: We haven’t included links but all of these companies are easily searchable online. If you have trouble finding one, feel free to contact us.
