About Sugarmade

Sugarmade Inc. is a socially responsible paper company founded by individuals and people like you - who realized the absolute necessity for high quality paper products offered at a competitive price while prioritizing environmental sustainability. These likeminded individuals envisioned bringing tree-free paper to the forefront of the paper industry, which in turn has become the mission of Sugarmade. Sugarmade distributes environmentally friendly paper goods for an assortment of consumer uses. They fundamentally improve the way the paper industry utilizes raw materials and natural resources and greatly reduces the carbon footprint created when manufacturing paper products by using agricultural residual fibers. Their focus creates a sustainable value proposition for their customers, employees and shareholders while maintaining a steadfast commitment to their guiding principles.

We became a B Corp because we wanted to increase the growth and visibility of beneficial companies such as ours and many others and to join a growing network of socially responsible companies.
