Why We’re Donating $5 Million to MAPS

Our family company, Dr. Bronner’s, donates a lot of resources to social justice NGOs and campaigns, including over $1 million to various state-level cannabis legalization campaigns in 2016.

What is Green?

At Dr. Bronner's we don't say to our consumers: if you bought a bottle of our soap then we're going to help a coconut farmer in Ecuador.

Standing with Immigrants and Refugees

Dr. Bronner’s was founded in the U.S. by Emanuel Bronner who, after losing his parents in the Holocaust, promoted a message of love and unity, not hate and revenge. In what he would call the “Moral ABC,” Emanuel urged us to realize our unity across religious & ethnic divides or perish: “We are All-One or None!” For Dr. Bronner, the tragic consequences of racial and religious division were all too real. This weekend, Trump closed the country’s borders to refugees,... Continue Reading

Protestors marching and holding boycott signs We All Have a Role: Five Lessons for Organizing Emerge from a Berry Farm
