Sourcing

Our in-house Sourcing team is dedicated to the ongoing curation of a supplier network that connects us with botanicals which will inspire new development, react to emerging trends, and always uphold exemplary ethical standards.

Our collaborative network of supply partners, global growers, and remote wild-harvesters provide us with quality ingredients, prioritising transparency. Our relationships ensure we understand our footprint among nature, and act with integrity within our supply chains.

Supplier Network

Building strong relationships with our suppliers is at the heart and soul of what we do.

Whether exploring new botanical inspiration, or seeking the best ingredients for popular products and themes, we engage with our existing supply base and broader network, prioritising transparency and impact-motivated operations. Our collaborative approach enables us to commit to primary suppliers who genuinely care for people and planet.

Botanical materials are sourced both locally and globally from an extensive network of suppliers, growers, wild harvesters, and farming co-operatives, with particular emphasis on organic and ethically certified sources. In addition, we grow a select number of organic botanicals on our Castle Farm site.

Among our valued supply base we are particularly proud to work closely with key partners, including Baobab Exports and Organic Herb Trading, who share our values and motivation.

Ethical Sourcing

Growing our business in harmony with people and nature is a core founding value of Blue Sky Botanics, which led to the creation of our unique Ethical Sourcing Policy.

Ethical Sourcing encompasses a responsibility to balance sustainable volumes of materials from nature, legal compliance when operating within a global landscape, and applying a mindfulness when considering the people involved throughout every step of a supply chain.

Blue Sky Botanics is a proud founding member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT). Through commitment to continuous improvement, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of supply. We collaborate purposefully with customers and suppliers to inspire and support ethical sourcing strategies.

In an ever-changing landscape, Blue Sky Botanics works with a range of ethical standards, such as B Corp, Soil Association Organic, COSMOS, Ecocert Bioequitable, EcoVadis, FairWild, Fairtrade and Fair for Life.

Our dedicated team of experts are committed to maintaining collaborative relationships which allow us to champion best-practice principles, minimise environmental impact, and to commit to fairness of trades.
