Sustainable sourcing
With Soil to Bottle™ traceability
We track key ingredients back to the farm, so we can
ensure they are grown and harvested in a way that
protects the environment and gives fair pay and
respectful treatment for all workers.
We also provide grants to our sourcing communities
to help them set up better education, healthcare
& housing so they can quickly become self-
sufficient, economically striving villages.

ORGANIC SOURCING
IN INDIA
- Long-term partnership with Indian firm Nisarga
enables us to source organic tumeric and
amla for use in some of our products. - Nisarga has educated 35,000 farmers on organic
farming techniques, and pays the organic
certification costs for their farmer partners. - At the processing plant, Nisarga employs an
environmentally friendly extraction method using
carbon dioxide, which leaves no toxic residues
and works at a lower temperature—yielding
highly potent extracts.

Aveda’s Approach
to Packaging
With every package we develop, we’re mindful of our
environmental footprint and work to minimize our
packaging and maximize our use of recyclable and
post-consumer recycled materials.
Now, more than 85% of skin care and hair styling PET
bottles and jars contain 100% post-consumer recycled materials.

We never
have
tested
on animals,
and we never will.
We don’t ask anybody to do so
on our behalf. We test on people.
