Sustainability - our initiativesUpdated 5 days ago
AT SOJA&CO, WE ARE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY
being B Corp™ is more than just a logo on our packaging, it’s a tangible reflection of our commitment to ethical, sustainable, and transparent practices at every step of our journey
the B Corp™ certification recognizes companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact — businesses that put people, the planet, and the community at the heart of every decision
for SOJA&CO., this recognition simply makes official what has guided us from day one: creating kind, consciously made products, for you and for the planet
what that means in practice:
✔ non-toxic ingredients
✔ locally made, handcrafted products
✔ eco-friendly packaging
✔ greener shipping methods
✔ a team led mostly by women
✔ a social and environmental impact that is measured and continuously improved
✔ transparency with our community
✔ and a constant drive to do better, together
we’re proud to be part of a global movement of businesses using their power for good
thank you for being part of the change with us!
INGREDIENTS
- Our candles are made from 100% natural soy wax, which emits 90% less soot and does not increase the level of CO2 in the air when burned
- Soy wax is also biodegradable, non-GMO, and derived from a renewable resource
- Our exclusive fragrances are vegan, plant-based and free of phthalates or toxins, allowing us to create the most fragrant (and natural) products possible
- Our fragrances are also certified natural and organic by ECOCERT Cosmos, USDA, GREENSEAL, and SAFER CHOICE, and are prepared by a perfumery certified EcoVadis gold level
PACKAGING
- Our amber glass containers are made of 50% recycled glass and their lids are made from 55% recycled metal - and of course, everything is recyclable and reusable
- Soy wax is easily cleaned, making it easy to reuse the jars once the candle is finished. For ideas on how to reuse them, it's here
- Our product boxes are made of 100% recycled and recyclable kraft cardboard and are produced by a local FSC certified supplier. Our soap boxes are even compostable thanks to their PLA film!
- Products that require a plastic bottle for safety reasons are equally recyclable and reusable.
SHIPPING
- Our shipping boxes are made of 80% recycled wood fibers and starch, making them of natural origin and biodegradable in addition to being recyclable and reusable indefinitely
- The kraft paper used to protect fragile products in packages is 100% recycled and recyclable
- 100% recyclable air cushions are used to replace less eco-friendly bubble wrap
- Invoices are always sent electronically to minimize paper waste
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
- At SOJA&CO., giving back is at the heart of what we do. That’s why a portion of our sales goes toward initiatives that support the environment, as well as causes that empower women and uplift our community.
We’re proud to be part of a global movement of businesses working for positive change.
Thank you for being part of it with us!
