This year’s theme is “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future" which aims to celebrate women who have or who are leading sustainability efforts through environmental, economic, educational, and social justice movements. As a woman-led company, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to highlight the woman at the helm. Mountain Rose Herbs’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Cameron Stearns, brings passion, education, and expertise to our mission-driven business model through organized, collaborative, and strategic action. Under her leadership, we have witnessed waves of positive change, not only for our company but also for the herbal product industry. In addition to her role guiding Mountain Rose Herbs, Cameron serves as a Core Member of [One Step Closer](https://osc2.org/), an organization of C-Suite executives running primarily independent and organic companies, who collaborate towards improving the industry's impact in the world. Cameron is also responsible for Mountain Rose Herbs’ involvement with the [Purpose Pledge](https://www.purposepledge.org/commitments), a group of sustainability trailblazers like Dr. Bronner's and Nature's Path Organic, who are dedicated to the belief that business can be a force for good. This work includes 10 distinct commitments in the areas of product quality, purpose-led governance, supply web integrity, fair compensation, living wage, inclusion, community engagement, climate action, zero waste, and capability building. Cameron brought Mountain Rose Herbs into the program on the ground floor as a pilot company, helping to craft and refine the requirements, and now that it has officially launched, has made the 9-year commitment to demonstrating measurable and meaningful improvement in each of the 10 areas. ![Women In leadership-Cameron Planting](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20images/Women%20In%20leadership-Cameron%20Planting.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=Women%20In%20leadership-Cameron%20Planting.jpg) Through right relationship with people, plants, and the planet, Cameron’s vision and leadership allow us to stay true to our values while always looking towards a more sustainable future. Pushing us to[ increase sourcing from organic US farmers and wildcrafters](https://mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/herbs-spices/us-grown-herbs/), grow our line of Regenerative Organic, [Fair Trade, and FairWild Certified offerings](https://mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/fair-trade), and increase community support initiatives, she is the pinnacle of what we celebrate this March—women shaping the sustainability movement through environmental protection, responsible economics, education, and social justice. From the farmers in the fields to the person calling upon our offerings for their wellness to the employee filling their order with care, each is seen as an equally important stakeholder for whom each decision is made. This month, we urge you to celebrate women like Cameron who are helping to shape a sustainable future within the natural products industry and beyond.   ### LOOKING to learn more about Mountain Rose Herbs' business practices? ## [Why We Are Committed to Independence](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/why-independence-in-the-natural-wellness-industry-matters?hsLang=en-us) You may also be interested in: - **[10 Tips for Starting and Running a Natural Products Business](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/tips-for-starting-and-running-a-business?hsLang=en-us)** - **[Why Mountain Rose Herbs Chooses Oregon Tilth as Its Organic Certifier](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/mountain-rose-herbs-and-oregon-tilth-friends-and-partners?hsLang=en-us)** - **[Read About For Life: A Tool to Measure Corporate Social Responsibility](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/how-to-measure-corporate-responsibility?hsLang=en-us) **  [![](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cameron_WomenInLeadershipBlog.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=Cameron_WomenInLeadershipBlog.jpg)](https://mountainroseherbs.com/visit-our-stores)  --- Topics: [Inside Mountain Rose Herbs](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/inside-mountain-rose-herbs), [Sustainability](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/sustainability) ![The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Passionflower.jpg) ### Written by [The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/author/friends) on March 10, 2026 Over the last three decades, the Mountain Rose Herbs Team has created and recreated thousands of recipes.
