At Mountain Rose Herbs, our independence allows us to keep corporate social responsibility at the heart of our values. That's why changing our corporate charter to become an Oregon benefit company in 2018 was a natural step for us, formalizing our commitment to making a measurable positive impact on both our employees and our community . Not only did we formalize this change in our legal documents, but we are required by Oregon law to set goals, evaluate our progress, and report on our activities annually. With accountability at the forefront, we decided to choose B Lab's rigorous Impact Assessment tool as the third-party standard by which to measure our impact.
