Dr. Bronner
Dr. Bronner is a brand with so many stories that we don't know where to start. That's why we've picked a few to give you an idea where Dr. Bronner for state.
- Founded in 1948 by Emanuel Heilbronner, 3rd generation soap maker and German immigrant to America. Dropped the Heil from his name for understandable reasons.
- Today is still a family business where David Bronner is the CEO (Cosmic Engagement Officer).
- They have different fair trade and organic production systems in Ghana, Sri Lanka, Samoa, India and Kenya
- The highest earner may never earn more than 5 times the wages of the lowest earner.
- They once bought a boat for the Sea Shepers organization
- The current CEO was once arrested for growing cannabis in a metal cage on the front steps of the White House
- Every year about 30% of the profit goes to charities.
- The team of dr. Bronner once invented a kind of foam that could not be used commercially, but could be used to extinguish forest fires. They still use that today for that.
- The vials of Dr. Bronner have been completely recyclable since 2003. A true pioneer in that field.
- So we can go a little further...
