Sustainability & Social Responsibility

As a health company, we recognize that human and pet health is directly--and linearly--connected to environmental and social health. Therefore, in addition to supplying our life-enhancing products, here is how else we are helping:

  • Our head office is 100% powered by renewable electricity and 0% fossil fuel-generated electricity.
  • We've partnered with Ontario Bee Rescue to donate a portion of every CB2 Salve sold to help relocate at-risk bee colonies, which saves them from extermination, and helps counter the population decrease in these important pollinators that our food supply and ecosystem depend on.
  • A portion of every Sesh Intention spray sold is donated to Water First to provide a source of safe, clean, and sustainable water to indigenous communities across Canada.
  • We make small ongoing contributions to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) through our financial institution.
  • All office printing is done on 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
  • Our washrooms are also stocked with 100% post-consumer recycled paper towels and toilet paper.
  • Through a combination of reusing packaging materials, recycling, and composting, our head office generates the equivalent of just 1-2 standard garbage bag of trash every month.
  • We consciously eliminate excessive packaging for our products.
  • We intentionally choose packaging that can be reused and/or recycled.
