Essential Depot has created the Greener Life Diamond to help its customers make greener products that can be identified at a glance. With 4 quadrants, social and environmental responsibilities are reflected in the carbon footprint, animal friendliness, fair trade, and bio healthy quadrants (each representing a different aspect of Greener Life). The Greener Life Diamond assigns a numeric value to each quadrant based upon the information learned in the inspection process. With the information in this easily visible manner, a consumer can quickly make ethical purchasing decisions. Essential Depot's Shea Butter is rated with a 0 in each quadrant signifying that the highest standards for each quadrant have been met.
