Brand Rating & Evaluation
Overall Rating:
Top Choice
Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (Avoid) to 5 (Top Choice). See How We Rate
The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:
sustainability practices
Mountain Rose Herbs achieved the Platinum Zero Waste Facility Certification from Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), becoming the first in Oregon to do so. This certification indicates a high level of waste diversion and sustainable operational practices.
Additionally, Mountain Rose Herbs prioritizes organic agriculture, sourcing certified organic botanicals to minimize environmental impact. However, the company provides limited publicly available data on its overall carbon footprint, energy consumption, and specific strategies for achieving carbon neutrality. Increased transparency in these areas would enhance their score
ingredients & materials
The company's dedication to organic agriculture ensures that its products are free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This commitment is reinforced by certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Fair for Life, which uphold stringent standards for non-toxic materials. However, detailed information regarding the sourcing and processing of all ingredients is not readily accessible. Providing comprehensive ingredient transparency would further improve their score in this area.
social responsibility
Mountain Rose Herbs engages in several socially responsible practices, including fair trade initiatives and community support. The company's Fair for Life certification underscores its commitment to fair labor practices and equitable trade relationships. Additionally, Mountain Rose Herbs actively participates in plant conservation efforts and supports various community programs. However, specific details about labor conditions within their supply chain and the extent of their community engagement are not extensively documented.
