While we currently meet the standards of many sustainability-oriented certifying bodies, we have not yet completed certification. For example, we are in the process of Carbon Neutral and Leaping Bunny certifications and we fully expect to be granted certification. We also use many Certified Organic ingredients but do not have organic certification.
Activist is also a member of 1% For the Planet and has successfully certified our donations, proving that at least 1% of our revenue went to approved environmental partners for the past three years, although this is not a certification per se.
We look forward to completing these and other certifications in the future as our resources allow. Certification is a time-consuming and expensive process that presents some hurdles for small, self-funded businesses, which is why we have not made the same progress as larger businesses with outside funding despite the fact that we go above and beyond the requirements of many certifications.
