PLANET-POSITIVE COMMITMENT
We pledge to always be looking far ahead - To be part of the solutions for the future
Our ZERO-WASTE commitment is applied throughout the supply chain in every aspect of our operations.
We partner with supply chain, production, operations and logistics partners who share our values.
By the end of 2025, INBAR+co aspires to be the first truly climate neutral wellness brand. Not just by paying for carbon-offset and waste-removal credits, but by PRO-ACTIVE CARBON REDUCTIONS in all facets of our operations.
As our company grows and more ecologically conscious options in packaging and ingredients become available, we pledge to make choices that continue to reduce our overall environmental impact. Until such time, we will not be selling products that require pumps and spray nozzles, currently available only in plastic.
