Description

We are seeking sustainable sources of botanicals, from the farm to table to support innovation opportunities in the physical and mental wellness space.

Background

To support our efforts in becoming a Certified B Corporation Sanofi Consumer Healthcare needs to identify sustainable sources of botanicals used in our product lines produced through sustainable farming practices such as regenerative agriculture. There are key botanicals today that are in danger because of not following these practices. This not only affects supply chain but also biological activity of the botanical due to geographic variations in farming practices, seasonal variability, etc.
