Sustainability as a way of life

Pure from leaf to cup! Our philosophy is based on nine main pillars divided in three main areas which are all equally important and represent our shared values.

We run our business in an ethical manner with respect and love for humanity and nature. These shared values guide all of our everyday operations, from internal management and customer/partner relations to our impact on the environment.

Community Engagement

We take great pleasure in supporting community initiatives promoting sustainability, mindfulness and mental health.

Sustainable Source

We take pride in our thorough selection of certified organic products and our unwavering commitment to the natural environment.

We believe that the benefits of supporting the organic movement and transitioning to an organic lifestyle are immeasurable. So, we don’t use conventionally grown botanicals on our blends and teas, and when certified organic materials aren’t available for our single herbs selection, we always opt for those cultivated without harmful chemicals or synthetic inputs.

Responsible Manufacturing

Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources while also enhancing employee, community and product safety.

Business Collaboration

Here at Solaris we believe that whilst it definitely takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a symbiotic relationship with the community for a business to thrive. Helping each other out to create a more sustainable, resourced and ethical world is everybody’s business! Doing it together can give us strength to persevere, can give us new inspirations and also brings in an element of fun.

Healthy Workplace

We spend much of our waking life in our workplaces. For some it’s a means to an end – money for bills, supporting the dreams of our families. For us in our family like the team in Solaris, we are passionate about creating a work environment that supports the dreams of the individual team member, a nourishing place that helps the individual to thrive, where each voice is heard. This is also why we came up with our home office wellness packages and corporate team building and educational courses to introduce this idea of healthy workplace, healthy employees = increased creativity, productivity and satisfaction.

Employees and Facility

We absolutely love how diverse and multicultural our team is.
It’s so important to us that we represent a balanced eclectic world view and continue to learn new ways to put ourselves into other people’s shoes.
This requires a team with a diverse and heart centered outlook. People comfortable in their own skin, self reliant and happy with solo work as well as team work.
We support the individual voice of our team members and frequently have team meets from all areas of the business to get new and fresh ideas.
Team days out in nature, orchard visits, spa retreats and lots of natural daylight streaming into our office spaces help us keep our balance.

Development of Meaning

Herbs and Teas are an amazing way to reconnect to ourselves. They have an innate ability to allow us to pause and to connect to what is important to us in the here and now. When we pause, it allows us to really listen to what’s calling us, what are our dreams, how can I fulfill them? They have an ability to nourish and restore us physically, mentally and spiritually. When we choose to sustain and nourish ourselves first and offer our – service/ gift/ talent from this place – we can give our offering in a sustainable way that allows us to flourish and grow as well as those around us.

Mental Health
At Solaris we are passionate about looking after our whole being- encompassing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

To build sustainable communities we believe in the power of empowerment. If we remind people of their value and what gives them meaning, it allows individuals to shine and connect to their dreams. This sense of purpose and value filters out into their families, friendship circles, workplaces and communities.

Tea and botanicals have a powerful effect on our minds by allowing you to connect to your senses through pleasurable scents and tastes. They can help you find a moment of pause and connection to really feel what you need in that moment.

Making room for moments of mindfulness and self care is a powerful tool to enable positive mental health.

Healthy Education

Education is so much more than a passing on and retaining of information. At Solaris we see education as a collaborative exchange of new ideas, fresh out looks. The idea is to spark people’s interest, act as a vehicle for reflection, inviting in a possibility for change of habits and patterns. When we learn to pause and smell the flowers, notice our environment around us – whether that’s in nature or our office, we learn to stop and sense how it makes us feel, we learn to slow down and give gratitude.
The main aim is to empower people to become their own catalyst for change. When we start with the change within us, this in turn encourages and motivates our families and communities and workplaces around us to be more reflective and progressive in their actions. Become the change you’re waiting for today.
