- The Supplements & Body Care departments will, as much as possible, carry products that are organically, sustainably and bio-dynamically produced, pesticide free, minimally processed, free of artificial flavors and ingredients, non-GMO, non-irradiated, fairly traded, sweatshop free, and not tested on animals.
- The Supplements & Body Care departments will purchase, as much as possible, products from sources that are local, small-scale, collectively or cooperatively run, and not-for-profit.
- As much as possible, the Supplements & Body Care departments will sell products in packaging that is minimal, recycled, recyclable or reusable, bio-degradable, and health hazard free.
- Other factors that will be considered when making purchasing decisions include: special dietary restrictions and avoiding common allergens, vegetarian/vegan options, protection of sensitive ecosystems and preservation of endangered or over-harvested species, customer demand, diversity of product selection, competitive pricing, and ease of ordering and available storage space.
