Our sustainable development project is based on four business mainstays: supply of our raw materials, their manufacture, and being attentive to both our employees and our clients.

 

As suppliers of 350 natural aromatic raw materials, we are an active partner to the fragrance, flavor, and essential oil sectors. As we are keenly aware of the responsibilities we have upstream of our supply chains, we seek trade with local producers that is more just, more sustainable, all while helping preserve biodiversity. This relationship is created through respect for their cultures, their traditions, nature, and biodiversity. Social imbalances, depletion of natural resources, and environment damage due to improper practices are some examples of factors that threaten natural aromatic raw materials.

New Caledonia is where, fifteen years ago, we first began working with the Kanaks on distilling sandalwood. Close ties were forged between us, based on fairness and respect for age-old tradition. Today, we work with the Salvadoran company Nobs Hidrodifusion to form supply chains for Balm of Peru and styrax. Increasing deforestation, serious equity issues, and disinterest on the part of local disadvantaged populations threaten the longevity of these supply chains. We also support the Haitian vetiver industry and traceability process of our local partner.
