At Mountain Rose Herbs, we believe business should be a force for good. That’s why we’re proud to be a pilot company for the Purpose Pledge, an initiative uniting values-driven businesses in fairness, accountability, and sustainability.
The Purpose Pledge challenges companies to balance purpose with profit, committing to ten guiding principles that ensure ethical decision making and mutual accountability. The companies involved are making a pledge to prioritize stakeholders throughout the supply chain and beyond. These stakeholders include farmers, suppliers, employees, customers, communities, and the environment.
On March 6th, 2025, at Natural Products Expo West, our CEO, Cameron Stearns, spoke at the Purpose Pledge launch about why Mountain Rose Herbs plans to support this initiative. By participating in the Purpose Pledge, Mountain Rose Herbs aims to collaborate with other mission-driven companies to set a new standard for responsible business practices. This initiative aligns with the company's longstanding dedication to organic agriculture, environmental stewardship, and ethical operations. As Cameron Stearns stated, the company is "delighted to commit to the Purpose Pledge and continue our journey towards a transparent and collaborative future that benefits both community and planet."
When we committed to being a Purpose Pledge Pilot Company, we joined a network of forward-thinking businesses striving for a better world.

Joseph Schneiderhan is the Sustainability Specialist for Mountain Rose Herbs. He grew up in southern Texas spending much of his childhood on ranches and farms where agriculture and livestock were a cornerstone in his upbringing. At 18 he got his first start in farming by helping to establish a 10-acre hydroponic farm that grew lettuce, basil, and microgreens for local restaurants and grocery stores. He moved to Eugene Oregon in 2007 where he managed a garden store and began to gain an appreciation for organic and sustainable farming practices. He studied agricultural science at OSU with a focus on sustainability and permaculture, and in his off time, you’ll find him in the forest foraging for mushrooms and wild herbs, or in the ocean surfing with his family.
