Sustainability has always been central to who we are. Weleda embraces an inclusive, fair, and regenerative economic model. Our B Corp (Benefit Corporation) certification underscores our commitment to making the world a better place through our corporate culture.

Weleda is a B Corp

Weleda has been a certified B Corp since 2021. In October 2024, we proudly achieved recertification with an increased score of 120.66. This confirms that we continue to meet rigorous standards in social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The B Impact Assessment evaluates companies in key areas: governance, customers, workers, community, and environment. We are part of a global network of over 9,200 B Corps, including Patagonia, Fairphone, and Ben & Jerry’s.

What it means to be a B Corp

We grow with responsibility, defining economic success through a long-term perspective. B Corps are companies that not only generate profits but also create social and environmental value through their business models. A shared conviction of using business as a force for good unites all B Corps worldwide. Recognising that entrepreneurship carries responsibility, we are committed to creating social value and ecological sustainability, embedding these principles in our company statutes.

We are delighted that our dedication to sustainability has been recognised by an independent body. This recertification is a great success for the entire team. Sustainability is an ongoing process that requires hard work. Today, we are focused not only on protecting resources but on actively strengthening them. Regenerative practices shape our entire value chain at Weleda.

Nadine Santiago, Chief Sustainability Officer at Weleda

This recertification and the strong result we have achieved confirm we are on the right path. Weleda stands for growth with responsibility – growth in harmony with people and nature. We aim to make an impact and contribute to a healthy future worth living, and we are constantly improving in this respect

Moderation and resilience

Our approach to business is rooted in moderation: we strive to take only what we can give back – and ideally, to give even more. This is our definition of sustainability. Sustainability and resilience go hand in hand, and we work to strengthen these values at every level. Our biodynamic gardens and raw material projects help sustain healthy soils and support local ecosystems around the world. On a social level, we build resilience through fair trade practices with long-standing suppliers, ensuring fair pay and supporting social initiatives.

Doing even more for climate protection

Weleda's logistic centre, Cradle Campus in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.

Built from wood and rammed earth and powered by geothermal and solar energy, our Weleda Cradle Campus operates entirely emissions-free. This logistics centre embodies the future of sustainable business – working in harmony with both people and nature.

How we protect the climate

We produce with 100 percent green electricity in our own production facilities in Germany, Switzerland and France.
Biodynamic agriculture increases humus in the soil, which stores large amounts of carbon. That is why we are increasing the biodynamic share of our certifiable plant-based raw materials.
We now use recycled PET bottles (rPET) in our Baby Care range. This alone reduces our CO₂ emissions by 250 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. We will continue to significantly increase the proportion of recycled material used in our packaging.
Our aim is to reduce our energy intensity (energy consumption divided by production volume) by 2.5 percent every year.
We are developing a global sustainable mobility and logistics concept.
We are creating transparency about the true costs of our most important plant-based raw materials, including climate impacts.

As part of our true cost accounting (TCA) we are assessing the differences between organic and conventional cultivation. This involves looking at CO₂ emissions, CO₂ sequestration, water consumption, water pollution, energy consumption, erosion and soil formation. The comparisons reveal that organic and biodynamic farming have a much better true cost balance than conventional farming.

What is true cost accounting?

True cost accounting (TCA) reveals the “hidden costs” of a company’s operations. In addition to direct production costs, the environmental and social impacts are calculated and included in the product price and balance sheets.
