Sustainability in practice for Organic Island

Sustainability has become an important topic in the beauty industry initiating a transformative shift in the way that we produce and service our communities. As a key value of our brand, our approach to sustainability is important to us, and something we’re proud to share.  

Sustainability is a core pillar of Organic Island. It’s not a trend or a box to tick. And it goes deeper than packaging and materials. For us, sustainability is about showing respect for the resources and energy provided by not only the planet but the people around us.

As we endeavour to reduce our footprint and produce with a mindset of preservation, we’re also conscious of the value we can bring to the world. What we leave behind is an equally important part of our approach to sustainability. Here’s how we bring that mission to life.

Ingredient Sourcing

Our approach to sourcing raw materials involves meticulously selecting and harvesting organic skincare ingredients in a manner that respects environmental equilibrium and supports the wellbeing of local communities.

We prioritise methods that preserve biodiversity, avoid harmful pesticides, and promote regenerative agriculture. At the same time, we’re committed to seeking long-term solutions that avoid over reliance on any particular source. Instead, we look to create supply chains that pay respect to the earth.

Conscious Packaging

A significant amount of time and energy has gone into sourcing packaging that aligns with our values. Wherever possible, we turn to recycled and recyclable materials and avoid single use formats where more sustainable options are available. We’re also proud to offer refillable formats that enable a luxurious experience while reducing the carbon footprint on replenishment orders.

Thoughtful Operations

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products into the everyday practices within our wider operations. At every turn, we endeavour to decrease our impact while remaining agile enough to adapt to advancements in sustainability measures.

As a business, we work closely with reputable carbon offsetting partners and charitable organisations that are empowering our values within communities.

Empowering People

Our people are one of the most valuable resources we have and an important part of our sustainability mission. When our people are empowered, their proactive and positive mindset has a flow on effect to our products and the wider community.

Education, for both our team and our customers, remains a priority, helping our communities live better lives and enhance their own positive output. We’re passionate about sharing our research, insights and discoveries as we continue to innovate in the organic skincare space so that our people have the knowledge and tools they need to share in our mission. 

Most importantly, we acknowledge that there is continued work to be done, within our own brand and the wider skincare industry. We’re continuously striving to do better and look to innovate alongside the many advancements within the industry.

Together with our team, our suppliers, our partners and our community, we truly believe we can have a positive impact on both the planet and people surrounding us and invite you to join us.
