It's possibly a tall order for a boutique company to hold ourselves to the highest of standards; however, we don’t believe we can authentically deliver to our purpose if we don't.
How does Organic Merchant commit to improving the people and planetary health now and into the future?
Each component of our sustainability model has been meticulously planned and refined to ensure trust, transparency and traceability in line with the ethos of our organic certification. We have five key areas of the model that we focus on: partnerships, wholistic health outcomes, organic certification, production and packaging.
This includes ethical partnerships we consciously align with other companies that are Australian-owned and operated, Australian Certified Organic ACO) or ethically and fairly traded.
