Ethical Sourcing
At North Naturals, sourcing is not just about finding ingredients, it’s about building a system that respects nature, uplifts communities, and preserves tradition. We believe that how we source is just as important as what we source.
Sourcing with Purpose
Every product we create starts with a question:
Is this good for the planet? Is this good for the people?
Our ingredients are harvested from the Himalayan and Hindu Kush regions using sustainable methods that protect the environment, support local livelihoods, and ensure long-term ecological balance.
Our Ethical Sourcing Principles:
- Protecting Biodiversity
We carefully select plants that are harvested without endangering species or disrupting natural ecosystems. Our focus is on indigenous herbs and plants that grow naturally in their local environment. - Supporting Local Communities
We work hand-in-hand with mountain communities who carry deep traditional knowledge. By providing fair compensation, training, and long-term partnerships, we help create a cycle of mutual growth. - Honouring Traditional Knowledge
Local harvesters are not just suppliers—they are the custodians of ancient wisdom. We listen, we learn, and we protect the traditions that have kept these ecosystems in balance for centuries.
Fair and Transparent Partnerships
At North Naturals, our supply chain is an open book.
- Fair Wages: We ensure local harvesters, farmers, and processing teams receive fair compensation that supports their families and their futures.
- No Exploitation: We strictly avoid middlemen who underpay communities or pressure unsustainable practices.
- Direct Sourcing: Wherever possible, we source directly from local villages and cooperatives to maintain quality, trust, and traceability.
Our sourcing is not transactional, it’s a relationship built on trust and shared purpose.
Sustainable Harvesting Practices
We actively promote harvesting techniques that protect the longevity of the plants and the surrounding ecosystem.
Our practices include:
- Seasonal and selective picking to allow natural regeneration.
- Controlled herb collection to prevent overharvesting.
- Eco-friendly processing with minimal waste and energy consumption.
We don’t just take from nature. We give back through reforestation, community training, and conservation programs.
Traceability from Root to Shelf
We want you to know where your products come from.
That’s why we are committed to building transparent sourcing trails, allowing you to trace the journey of our herbs and ingredients from the remote mountains to your home.
When you choose North Naturals, you choose products that carry the story of:
- Protected forests
- Respected communities
- Ethical partnerships
- Honest practices
More Than Sourcing—It’s Stewardship
Ethical sourcing is not a trend for us, it is a responsibility.
We source thoughtfully, we partner respectfully, and we protect what matters. Our goal is to leave the land better than we found it.
By supporting North Naturals, you become part of this chain of care.
