Sustainability Practices
At Actifirm, we understand sustainability matters and the true meaning of beauty, inside and out. Actifirm’s commitment to essential botanical ingredients is driven by an unwavering passion to preserve well-being and the environment. We have empowered products with ingredients that make a difference to our customers, our suppliers, our communities, and the planet. We pledge that:
- Our botanicals and other key ingredients are sourced from fully renewable resources so we can bring you the amazing products you love for many years to come.
- Our growers and harvesters are engaged via fair trade practices so we can develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with them that enrich all of us.
- Our rigorous control of the extraction and manufacturing processes ensures environmentally friendly production practices so we can leave our planet better than we found it for generations to come.
Supporting our communities is also vital to Actifirm, and we actively support:
- Attitudes & Attire™: A non-profit agency dedicated to promoting personal growth for women seeking self-sufficiency. This program provides the tools that raise self-esteem, promote ethics, and build the confidence necessary to succeed in the workplace.
- Genesis Women’s Shelter: A state of the art women’s shelter in Dallas offering a complete continuum of care, Genesis fights to end domestic violence each and every day.
- The Family Place: The largest family violence service provider in the Dallas area reaches out to thousands of victims of family violence each year with award-winning programs to keep women and children safe.
