Sustainability at Berjé
Responsible sourcing across essential oils and aroma ingredients, from origin to customer
Sustainability at Berjé is about responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and ethical supply chain practices for essential oils and aroma ingredients. Many of our products come directly from agricultural and botanical systems and this means that long-term sustainability is closely linked to product quality, supply continuity and customer confidence.
Our sustainability program focuses on environmental impact, responsible procurement, human rights and labor standards, alongside ethical business conduct across our global operations and origin network.
Environmental Impact & Emissions Management
We maintain a structured greenhouse gas accounting program across our operations, measuring Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and expanding Scope 3 supply chain emissions coverage. This allows us to track progress over time and identify where operational improvements can be made.
We’re developing product carbon footprint models for priority materials and working towards science-based emissions reduction targets as our full greenhouse gas inventory is completed.
In addition, we’re rolling out energy and process efficiency upgrades across our facilities and origin sites.
Renewable Energy & Site Efficiency
Renewable energy and site efficiency investments form part of our environmental improvement strategy. Solar installations at our Carteret headquarters supply a significant share of our electricity used on site.
Other programs on site include steam and process efficiency upgrades, resource-use reduction, and infrastructure improvements that lower overall energy demand.
Responsible Sourcing & Sustainable Agriculture
Berjé works closely with growers and supply partners at source to support regenerative and lower-impact agricultural practices that protect soil health, biodiversity, and long-term crop viability.
Programs include biological pest control expansion, reduced reliance on high-residue chemicals, and farmer training in safe agrochemical use and field management practices, Environmental improvements at processing sites include water recovery and reuse systems and process efficiency upgrades.
Traceability & Supply Chain Due Diligence
We are expanding supplier and field-level mapping across priority origin s to strengthen raw-material traceability and supply chain transparency.
Our due diligence framework includes supplier risk assessments, audits, and social compliance reviews using recognised standards, and independent assessment tools, including SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit). Supplier expectations are defined through our Supplier Code of Conduct and Responsible Sourcing Standard.
People, Communities & Labor Standards
Berjé supports farming and origin communities through technical training, field support, and workforce development programs designed to strengthen safety, skills and long-term resilience.Our labor and human rights Stan cards require safe working conditions, fair treatment, and non-discrimination across the supply chain.
