how we do our part…

1. Ethical sourcing: We incorporate fair trade principles and source materials from suppliers that have been certified as ethically and sustainably managed.

2. Organic farming: We use organic farming methods to grow plants used in incense production, which reduces the use of chemicals and pesticides and supports committed traditional farmers and harvesting communities.

3. Reforestation: We plant fruit trees and bush tuckers to offset the impact of incense production on forests and habitats.

4. Carbon offsetting: We offset the carbon emissions produced during production through investment in renewable energy sources, and we use handcrafted recycled paper packaging. Starting in 2024, we will also be changing our packaging to paper and recycled glass made in-house in collaboration with Upcycled Glassware.

5. Community development: We support local communities and entrepreneurs by sourcing materials and labor locally and investing in community development projects.

6. Recycling & reducing waste: We implement recycling programs and reduce packaging waste to minimise the environmental impact of incense production.

7. Transparency & traceability: We are transparent about sourcing, production methods, and environmental impact, and we provide traceability information for customers.
