We’re on a mission to support the fragile ecosystems we rely on for our tasty ingredients through planting trees across South-East Asia.
Since 2015 we have supported PUR in planting over 28,000 trees and 20,500 mangroves in Pejarakan, Bali. Not only planting Coconut Palms (Cocos Nucifera), which we, of course, use in all our delicious goodies, but a range of planting including species such as Gemelina Arborea Timber, Chinese Albizia Legume, Ingidogera Legume Syzygium Cumini Artocarpus Heterophyllus and Mangifera Indica.
Agroforestry is a regenerative agricultural practice that deliberately integrates trees, shrubs and other woody species with crops and/or animals. By planting trees alongside crops, agroforestry contributes to the livelihood of local farmers while balancing local ecosystems - preserving water resources, maintaining high-quality soils, and removing excess carbon from the atmosphere. Promoting sustainable agricultural practices can help generate new opportunities for local communities.
Mangroves are one of the most unique trees on the planet, achieving incredible social and environmental impact. Beyond high levels of carbon sequestration, mangroves create strong barriers that protect coastal villages against natural disasters. Mangrove ecosystems directly support the well-being of many other organisms, including humans, plants, and animals; particularly fish and molluscs. They provide habitats and nurseries for more than 1,500 species, while creating barriers that protect coastal villages against natural disasters like storms and tsunamis.
All PUR regeneration projects are designed by and for the local communities. Both agroforestry and mangrove planting can provide revenues to those involved, empowering local communities to operate long-term socio-environmental projects.
We only use paper cups and vegware spoons for our sampling events!
We have made good progress on our journey to make sure all our plastic packaging is fully recyclable and all of our carboard is made from recycled materials and FSC certified sources.
We want to assure our customers that we never used monkeys in our supply chain.
We would never source coconuts from farms that use monkeys, and we are proud to have a strict supplier vetting process in place, with a strong emphasis on animal welfare.
