Commitment to the Environment

Since we launched in 1990, Origins has been one of the most recognised natural cosmetic brands. And among the things we are most noted for is our long-standing commitment to protect the planet, its resources and all those who populate it. Our products are manufactured using a combination of renewable resources, wind energy and earth-friendly practices. And we use recycled materials wherever possible.

Origins has partnered with Community Energy Inc. to purchase wind generated power to offset electricity used in its North American stand-alone retail stores. Wind energy is a natural, inexhaustible source of energy that requires no fuel and produces no pollution. By purchasing wind power for our retail stores, Origins will use less grid electricity, achieving a CO2 reduction equivalent to planting 788,589 trees or removing 825 cars from the road.

And by helping to fund the building of additional turbines with Community Energy, we will achieve a further reduction in CO2 emissions equivalent to planting 61,562 trees or not driving 783,945 miles in a car on an annual basis.

As a result of these efforts, Origins has been recognised as one of the top 30 companies by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership as a result of its purchasing of 100 percent green power. Combined, these purchases amount to more than 3 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually.

And with these combined efforts, Origins has already planted the equivalent to 1.25 million trees.
