Sustainability has been a continuous journey for us here at Verdure Sciences®—a journey guided by Verdugration^®, our unique sustainability framework that shapes everything we do, internally and externally. As we unveil our Fourth Sustainability Report, we’re honored to showcase how Verdugration^® serves as our beacon, directing our sustainability and quality initiatives to triple-check that every step we take is rooted in environmental and ethical responsibility, traceability, and transparency.

 

Sustainable Procurement Programs

In this year’s report, we delve into the tangible impact of our Sustainable Procurement Programs (SPP). In cooperation with our manufacturing partners, we’ve established the SPP to define and structure the plans for farms to secure reliable, premium sources of income and resources while maintaining the sustainability of botanicals, local ecology and the people who grow and harvest the plants used in our proprietary ingredients.

As it stands, we highlight four botanicals within our Sustainable Procurement Programs as case studies to track and monitor our progress, including:

• SPP: Bacopa
• SPP: Turmeric
• SPP: Boswellia
• SPP: Pomegranate (NEW)

The Sustainable Procurement Programs is an internal program first initiated in 2017 with the launch of the SPP: Turmeric (also called the Sustainable Turmeric Program) in the southern region of India. Through Verdugration^®, we’ve designed this initiative to encompass the sustainability of our people, plants, and planet allowing us to bring meaningful messaging to pillars of our mission.
