Can Burt’s Bees Turn Clorox Green? #
January 7th, 2008 | In Worth Reading
I must first admit that until I read this story I wasn’t even aware that the maker of my favorite lip balm was owned by Clorox. But the article wonders if the smaller company can turn it’s owner green, which was one of the biggest aims of the buy. At minimum, the smaller company still has a fair bit of green cred:
Burt’s Bees maintains its founders’ green philosophies. Employees’ bonuses are based in part on how well the company meets energy conservation goals, and there are prime parking spaces for staff members who drive hybrid cars or carpool. It buys offsets for 100 percent of its carbon emissions and is working toward a goal of sending no trash to landfills by 2020.
