Neal's Yard Remedies are trying to save the world, one blue bottle at a time. Established in 1981 as an apothecary, the company grew to build eco-factory and become the first carbon neutral high street retailer. Neal's Yard Remedies (NYR) have a fantastic ethical approach to their work, they try to improve the lives of both the customers who purchase their products, but also the workers who grow and harvest the ingredients. There is a strong stance on the fair treatment of employees, NYR travel around the worlds to meet the farmers in fields and ensure they get paid fair wages. This provides employment to the locals, promotes female independence, helps to support communities and improve education.
