How it does good

Herbs run the world

• 

  responsible sourcing

  Sourcing domestically in the U.S. whenever possible, Urban Moonshine obtains their herbs from a range of suppliers, focusing on growers in Vermont, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest. When they do source from overseas, they test the vendor’s herbs to ensure that there are no herbicide or pesticide residues present, even for certified organic herbs. The alcohol, apple cider vinegar, and honey that they use are also certified organic, as are the natural flavorings and gum arabic.
• 

  low carbon footprint

  As a certified California Green Business, Urban Moonshine offsets 100% of their Scope 1-2 emissions with verified offsets. So far, they’ve reached their goal of 90% waste reduction and continue to run their corporate office and production facilities on 100% local renewable energy. To balance their corporate footprint, they’ve purchased carbon offsets in California and Western Canada, supporting sustainable forest management projects. Near some of their top herb producers in Zimbabwe and Indonesia, they’ve purchased offsets supporting land conservation of forest and peatlands.

  supporting key causes

  Urban Moonshine goes beyond monetary and product donations to organizations to also offer their time. They actively encourage their team to contribute pro bono service, including holding leadership roles with organizations focused on fair and ethical trade and certifications, sustainable sourcing, environmentalism, and responsible industry regulations. Additionally, Urban Moonshine donates discontinued or near expiring products to interested recipients to mitigate waste.
