Better canola sourcing
An eco-friendly and sustainable choice
Canola is grown in crop rotation systems to improve soil fertility, prevent erosion and control pests. The stiff stems and thick canopy provide an ideal environment for a wide range of wildlife.
When in flower, the bright yellow blossoms provide an abundant food source for honeybees and other pollinators. And canola fields are often planted with buffer strips of wildflowers and shrubs to provide food and increase insect biodiversity outside the flowering season.

Understanding our supply base and engaging with farmers
Our canola-based emollients are produced from non-GMO Swedish canola sourced through our segregated, third-party verified ImpAAKtful™ supply chain, which implements regenerative agricultural practices to increase yields, reduce CO2, and improve landscape health.
We aim for a zero-waste canola supply chain. Discarded stalks become organic soil nutrients. After processing, we convert the solid parts of the seed into animal feed and sell screening residues from production for biogas, an environmentally friendly renewable energy source.
Measuring environmental impact
Our ImpAAKtful model uses a digital climate performance platform to collect and verify field-level primary emissions data from farmers within our segregated Swedish supply chain. By focusing on farmer centric approaches and outcomes, the program supports the transition to climate-friendly farming.
Making an impact
80-95% of greenhouse gas emissions come from cultivation methods and not transportation
Our ImpAAKtful supply chain enables customers to report actual Scope 3 emissions based on their own supply chain and make credible sustainability claims supported by third-party verified data. All activities are measurable and can be supported with partner investment for further claims.
