    Burt’s Bees Outlines New Sustainability Goals

    Will launch first waste-free product with Loop next month.

    Burt's Bees has outlined its new plans for a more sustainable future. The personal care company announced its 2025 vision to foster a circular economy with commitments to reach Net Zero Plastic to Nature, support a climate-focused future and enhance the livelihoods of more than 50,000 people across its supply chain. 

    These goals are outlined in the brand's 2020 Impact Report, which also details accomplishments from the prior goal period, including: formulas averaging 99.6% natural origin; packaging that uses 50% recycled materials on average and is all recyclable curbside or through TerraCycle; maintaining landfill-free operations since 2010; and providing $4.1 million in grants to protect biodiversity and connect people to nature. 

    "Our focus has long been centered on the wellbeing of people and the natural world. The challenges of the pandemic have only heightened the importance of protecting nature as a resource, for the health of people and all life on Earth,'' said Paula Alexander, Burt's Bees senior director of sustainability. "That's why we've chosen to focus on systemic changes across our supply chain while working toward a circular economy—to enable a more connected and stable relationship between people and nature."

    Burt's Bees has committed to several large-scale initiatives to reach Net Zero Plastic to Nature by 2025, focusing first on changes within its own value chain—cutting use of virgin packaging materials (plastic and fiber) by 33% (and, by 2030, 50%) and striving toward 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging for all products. These initiatives were developed in alignment with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, which sets a vision of a circular economy for plastic.

    The brand, which is owned by Clorox, is also launching its first waste-free product in partnership with Loop. Available early March, the new Truly Glowing Gel Cleanser will come in a reusable glass bottle with waste-free delivery and return.

    To improve recycling rates outside of its value chain, Burt's Bees is joining forces with The Recycling Partnership to fund infrastructure improvements in U.S. municipal recycling systems. In addition, Burt's Bees will invest in plastic waste collection and recycling credits that would lead to recovery and recycling of at least as much plastic as their own plastic footprint. Measurement and accounting methodology will align with the recently launched Plastic Waste Reduction Standard, which enables robust accounting, verification and reporting on the impact of projects that increase plastic waste collection and/or recycling.

    Burt's Bees will accelerate efforts to improve sourcing practices and uplift communities that produce their most valued ingredients—such as beeswax and shea butter. By 2025, they will more than double their efforts—impacting 50,000 livelihoods through:

    • 20 Global Supply Chain Investment Projects that help safeguard access to clean water, support women's and children's empowerment, and promote health, safety and biodiversity; and 

    • Responsible Sourcing Assessments and third-party audits to help ensure the wellbeing of workers, including upholding human rights along with the highest health, safety and labor standards and practices, as well as business ethics and environmental protection.

    To date, Burt's Bees has visited 115 sites in 25 countries to trace and monitor raw materials—including almost all wax (96%) and butter (97%) sources—and nearly half of all of directly purchased wax, butter and oil sources combined globally. 

    Having transitioned to 100% Renewable Electricity in January 2021, the company will continue to be CarbonNeutral® certified, building on an eight-year commitment to offset carbon emissions, including emissions from their facilities, transportation of raw materials and finished products, and employee travel. 

    Burt's Bees has made climate action commitments and plays an active role in industry networks to advance a climate-focused future, including signing the We Are Still In and America Is All In declarations, and joining Ceres Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP) and The Climate Collaborative.
