Ecological understanding

According to Vedic wisdom, humankind, nature, and the cosmos are one. This gives rise to a deep understanding of the fundamentals of life and a profound responsibility for the preservation of nature.

Maharishi Ayurveda has been meeting this responsibility for over 30 years with a corporate governance approach consistently guided by the standards of sustainable business. We adhere to strict, authentic Ayurvedic manufacturing processes, and we attach great importance to protecting the environment and resources as best we can. In this way, we want to preserve the natural foundations of life for ourselves and our children.

• The ingredients for Maharishi Ayurveda products mostly come from controlled organic cultivation on our own farms and from certified wild harvesting, as well as from carefully selected and partly certified organic farmers and partners in the high Himalayan regions. We place great emphasis on the careful use of raw materials, sustainability, mindfulness, and fair trade.
• Our product range of organic products is constantly being expanded.
• Since the company was founded, we have stood for natural beauty care, have actively contributed to the establishment of the BDIH certificate for controlled natural cosmetics and still rely 100% on BDIH-COSMOS ORGANIC / COSMOS NATURAL certified natural cosmetics as a sign of sustainable production.
• We process ingredients carefully, sustainably and largely on-site to minimize transport routes.
• Rare plant species are cultivated specifically to protect and preserve the richness of Indian flora. Pickers are carefully trained in sustainable plant harvesting.
• We're constantly keeping ourselves informed about developments in new, ecological and sustainable packaging options for our products, and we've already been able to implement many of them.
• We use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified cardboard for our packaging.
• Wherever possible, we use environmentally friendly packaging material made from recycled paper and starch for shipping.
• We ship your orders climate-neutrally with DHL GoGreen .
• By participating in the dual system for the recycling of sales packaging, we save thousands of kilograms of climate-damaging CO2 every year.
• We have been using Dutch green electricity from hydropower at our European headquarters for many years.
• Maharishi Ayurveda is a member of various institutions, networks, and working groups to implement mechanisms and support strategies for sustainable cultivation, trade, and export at the central and state levels.
