Better spices,
happier planet.
We believe in the very best spices, and supporting the hands and the land that grow them.
We do this by building relationships directly with smallholder farmers. By educating and providing opportunities for marginalised farming communities and empowering women. And by partnering with likeminded companies to promote the importance of sustainable spices at a higher level.
Building a sustainable system from the soil, up.
Working with farmers
We love working directly with the people who grow our spices.
That’s why we’ve partnered with AB Mauri to embark on an exciting new sustainable turmeric farming project working directly with smallholder farmers in Maharashtra, India.
This means we can directly influence the livelihoods of these farmers, helping to improve their working conditions and promote sustainable processes.
Our Impact
The aim of this project is to empower women in the turmeric farming community!
We do this by offering alternative employment outside of the turmeric farming season to increase their annual income and provide employment stability. We also provide healthcare products to improve health and hygiene.
The project also helps to improve agriculture practises, to make farming safer and improve productivity. Farmers in the project are provided with better equipment to improve their safety. They also receive
training in sowing practises, water conservation, waste management, pesticide usage and harvesting practises to reduce their environmental impact and improve their yields and incomes.
Sustainable sourcing for the future
We believe that sustainable spice sourcing is vital to the future of our industry, and our planet. That’s why we are a member of the Sustainability Spice Initiative (SSI), a group of businesses and NGOs who are striving for fully sustainable spice production worldwide.
As you can see, we are already exceeding our target to source 25% of our top 3 spices sustainably by 2025 and we’re adding more spices to our sustainable sourcing pledge! We are driven to making our spice sourcing as sustainable as possible, pledging to sustainably source at least 50% of our top 3 spices by 2030.
