Weleda has been named Best Sustainable Business of the Year 2026 at the RHS Chelsea Sustainable Excellence Awards.
Weleda is a key partner and licensee of the Biodynamic Association (BDA).
The judges were particularly impressed by Weleda’s approach: working at eye level with nature, restoring soils, protecting biodiversity, empowering communities, designing product, and infrastructure that work in harmony with nature.
“Weleda represents a rare example of a company where sustainability is not a marketing claim but the organising principle of the business. For more than a century they have demonstrated that commercial success and ecological stewardship can go hand in hand.”
Weleda in a nutshell:
105 years developing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals from natural materials
6 Weleda biodynamic & organic cultivation sites around the world for home-grown plants
50 countries globally retail Weleda products
120 natural cosmetics make up the range
500 substances obtained from nature are used in Weleda formulations
This is a fabulous reminder that biodynamic and regenerative ideas are not fringe concepts anymore - they are increasingly being recognised in mainstream spaces where quality, ethics and environmental responsibility all matter.
Congratulations to Weleda - and to everyone helping biodynamic and regenerative ideas take root in the wider world.
