Our mission is simple.

Our 2022 mission is simple Yuyo aims to change how our community perceives and affordably receives the cannabinoid plant and its CBD components. We are committed to manufacturing cleaner and highly effective quality products. By implementing sustainable farming practices, we are supporting the farmers and preserving our soil.

We continue to focus on biodegradable and recyclable packaging to create less waste and reduce our carbon footprint. As lovers of all animals, our products will always be cruelty-free. We work hard to give back to the community that sustains us by donating a portion of our revenue to 1% for the Planet and donations organized by the Floret Coalition.

“We use our business as a learning tool to work towards a more sustainable future for our brand by incorporating recycled and biodegradable materials in our packaging and working with our farmers and strategic partners to ensure sustainability in our business model.

Better Business

Our practices are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible. We work with local small businesses whenever possible with a focus on supporting minority and women-owned businesses. At Yuyo, we strive only to resource our ingredients from ethical farmers and manufacturers. We have implemented extraction and refining technologies that maximize efficiency while minimizing any negative environmental impact.
