SUSTAINABILITY - things we’ve done so far

We have been working on four main areas. However, if you think we can do better in any of them, let us know in the comment section below.

1. Work directly with farmers

We partners with farming collectives in India to procure raw materials from them.

2. Proper Ingredients

Lentils and Chickpeas have a lower carbon footprint than protein from animal sources.

3. Supporting Local

We directly and indirectly employ more than 400 women in India and Malaysia.

4. Problem of packaging

The biggest problem in our industry is finding packaging that is recyclable but also maintains shelf life. The best solution we could think of (by no means perfect) is to reduce the non recyclable parts to 5%. We (and the whole industry) need to do better.

5. Responsible Palm Oil

For our products using palm oil, we source only RSPO-certified oil from RSPO-certified suppliers to support sustainable production.

Since we started the brand in late 2015, we’ve only ever used RSPO-certified palm oil. For our recent U.S. shipments, while the palm oil itself was RSPO-certified, we mistakenly used the wrong logo on our packaging. This was our mistake, and we want to be upfront about it.

Here’s what we’ve done to put things right:

  • We have begun the official Supply Chain Certification and Trademark License process to use the correct logo.

  • Our team is covering or removing the incorrect logos on all packaging still under our control.

  • We’ve made the RSPO team fully aware of the exported batches and have taken immediate corrective actions based on their guidance.

We’re committed to doing better, being transparent, and making sure all our products meet the highest standards moving forward.

But this isn’t enough.

If you think we can do better in any of the initiatives mentioned above, please let us know. If there is a better way to source raw materials or if there is a new packaging material we should look into, send us a message below.
