Green Business

A green business operates in ways that help solve, rather than aggravate both environmental and societal challenges. By adopting principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for customers, the community, and the broader environment, YoVedic™ is committed to making a difference. There is a strong connection between Ayurveda's approach to healing: to reestablish harmony between self and the environment, both in the roots from which the original philosophies of Ayurveda and the keys to understanding what we can do both as a business and as individuals to protect and improve the environment for all mankind.

At YoVedic™, we are doing our part by working every day to find and offer products that will help customers make ''going green'' easier while still being cost effective. As a result, from the inception of our company, we committed our time and resources to offering more eco-conscious products and to make these items available at prices that make the choice to ''go green'' an easy one. We continue to actively seek out green Ayurvedic, meditation, spiritual, wellness and holistic products that meet our high quality standards and we invite you to browse the organic and eco-friendly product categories. Please feel free to send us your suggestions via email to: Info@yovedic.com.

Our commitment to reducing our footprint on the planet does not end with simply selling more eco-conscious products. We have also looked closely at both our personal and business practices and have committed ourselves to operating as a green business by following the standard of reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Here are some of the things that we do:

Buy only used office furniture.
Print on recycled paper.
Use fluorescent lighting.
Reuse boxes as often as possible for shipping.
Separate our waste into organic matter, recyclables, and regular trash -- both in our office and in our homes.
Use reusable water bottles.

We are a socially and environmentally responsible company. The individuals that work for us are also expected to live by these principles. Don't be shy, we want to hear from you. Let us know your ideas for how we can become an even greener business, and what else we can do to encourage the Ayurveda community to make earth-friendly choices that help sustain and improve our world.
