We are the first energy gel company in the world committed to offsetting all emissions related to our operations.
Certified
MUIR has gone Carbon Neutral
We have shown our commitment to your health through our ingredient choices and manufacturing methods, now it is time to be as committed to caring for the planet as we are to human health.
We have reached carbon neutrality with the help of Climate Neutral.
Measure
The BEE software tool helped us estimate the greenhouse gas emissions created when making and delivering MUIR.
Offset
Carbon credits have been purchased to offset our yearly determined carbon output. These verified carbon credits fund projects that eliminate emissions all across the globe. We opted for the Nature-Based Offset Pool. Learn more here!
Reduce
With Climate Neutral taking on a huge portion of this feat, we are able to focus more time and creativity into tackling other ways to decarbonize our business! Our Reduction Action Plan can be found here.
1% For The Planet
We’ve joined a network of like-minded, responsible businesses committed to donating 1% of gross sales to environmental nonprofits that align with our values, and that make the biggest impact possible.
The urgent issues facing our planet need so much more than they’re currently receiving, with only 3% of philanthropy going toward environmental giving. We are thrilled to be working together toward a common goal: protecting the future of our planet!
To date, over $250 million has been invested in environmental nonprofit solutions through the 1% for the Planet network supporting 6 main pillars; Climate, Food, Pollution, Land, Water, and Wildlife.
All-Natural, All-Purpose Cleaner
In conjunction with several sustainable and ethical certifications, we are “greening” our operations from the ground up.
Our Founder, Ian McNally, and his wife, Joy, have yet again tapped into one of our core competencies; making clean, simple formulations. They have created a non-toxic all-purpose cleaner to be used at MUIR HQ in San Diego, as well as employee homes.
EcoEnclose Kraft mailer
We are proud to offer our customers a naturally biodegradable mailer made from 100% recycled content, 90% post-consumer waste. They are curbside recyclable, and compostable (though recycling is recommended over composting!).
As simple of a fix as it seems, making the switch from our bubble wrap mailers to EcoEnclose ensures a plastic-free shipping experience, and one step closer to true sustainable business.
2020 Carbon Offset Projects
A carbon offset is a way to drive investment into climate change solutions. Purchasing one carbon credit is equal to avoiding or removing one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (a fancy way to say greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere.
We supported three projects focused on conserving forest ecosystems in Indonesia, Brazil, and the US.
Transparency
A commitment to people and the planet means you should know who we choose to partner with. Luckily, we’re proud to share this information because our partners align with our values: they take responsibility for the impact their business has on the environment and take care of the people involved with their organization.
We seek suppliers that:
• Prioritize employee and environmental health over profits
• Commit to producing the highest quality products
• Do the right thing without cutting corners, and make it right when mistakes are made

Big Tree Farms: Coconut Palm Nectar

The founders of Big Tree Farms use their company to support farmers in tried-and-true traditional methods that foster the long term health of the environment and the economy.
We believe the best nutrition comes from real food. Simple as that.
We use exclusively real food, mineral rich, ingredients, which are easy to metabolize and super easy on the stomach - no GI issues.
Gram for gram, Muir Energy provides more nutrition - quality calories, healthy fats and proteins, vitamins and minerals - than any other product in our space.
