MISSION

Organically Grown Open icon icon that represents the state of the summary

One of the advantages of the legal, licensed cannabis market is that products are tested for contaminants, adulterants, and the like. Taking this a step further, organically grown cannabis is what TLEHL is looking to work with as much as possible. The cleanest, most wholesome cannabis products on the market are those that have been organically grown, processed without chemical solvents, and certified by testing facilities, and our goal is to offer exactly these kinds of products.

Carbon Neutral Open icon icon that represents the state of the summary

TLEHL includes carbon neutrality in our mission. Fossil-fuel-based machinery is quickly becoming the horse-and-buggy of the 21st century. It is not easy to relinquish the knowledge and convenience of techniques such as the internal combustion engine and methane gas heat. At the same time, electric alternatives have never been more powerful, and in many ways have now eclipsed this previous modality in terms of performance. TLEHL's operations have been renewably powered since day one, initially through the use of a community solar program. TLEHL will also strive to maximize the amount of compostable, biodegradable, and/or recyclable materials used in our packaging. Upon achieving profitability, TLEHL will endeavor to implement carbon accounting methods as well.

Data Driven Open icon icon that represents the state of the summary

To us at TLEHL, "data driven" means a core focus on operational data collection and analysis through the use of IoT and Industry 4.0 sensors and equipment as well as third-party industry data, and leveraging the collected data for optimal efficiency.
