BUSINESS PRACTICES

"Our work begins and ends with relationships. We start by respecting and empowering each other as coworkers, and build on that to develop true ties with our retail partners and vendors. The ultimate goal is to create honest and open relationships with everyone who uses our products, and believes, like us, that a company can and should be both successful and socially responsible." Tom O'Brien, CEO

Running a responsible business isn’t something we just decided to do overnight. Tom’s of Maine has been making socially and environmentally conscious choices for a long time (almost 40 years!), and we’re still learning as we go. We think of it this way: we’re all fellow citizens of this earth, and if we don’t work together to try and make responsible choices, who will? Every step along this path is important, from high-level decisions (choosing to invest in clean power for our energy needs) to individual relationships (supporting an employee with a serious illness in her family).

The best part? By making responsible choices, we create better products for you while producing as little impact on the earth as possible.
