SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES - KAITIAKITANGA

Guardians of Nature, Leaders in New Zealand Cosmetic Innovation

OUR COMMITMENT TO “TE TAI AO” - NATURAL WORLD

At Organic Bioactives New Zealand, we believe that true beauty is rooted in the harmony between science and nature.

Our commitment to sustainability is not merely a business strategy - it is the foundation of our existence and the guiding principle behind every decision we make.

New Zealand's unique ecosystem, isolated for millions of years, has developed extraordinary botanical species with remarkable bioactive properties. We recognise our profound responsibility to protect this precious biodiversity while ethically harnessing its potential for cosmetic innovations.

  • Ethical Sourcing

    We source indigenous botanicals through trusted local partners.

    Our approach supports biodiversity, cultural integrity, and fair value exchange.

  • Biodiversity Protection

    Our procedures comply with requirements under the Resource Management Act 1991 and Conservation Act 1987 to maintain ecological integrity and honour the Treaty of Waitangi through Kaitiakitanga.

  • Sustainable Innovation

    Our “Clean Beauty” extraction processes maximise bioactive potency while minimising environmental impact, using green chemistry principles.

  • Indigenous Partnership

    We align our sourcing operations with the National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB, 2023), actively identifying, protecting, restoring, monitoring, and partnering as kaitiaki along with Māori‑led ecosystems.

  • Transparent Practices

    We maintain complete transparency in our supply chain, ingredient sourcing, and manufacturing processes, sharing our journey with customers.

  • Reducing CO2 Footprint

    We are actively taking conscious steps toward achieving carbon neutrality. Recognising the environmental impact of long distance international logistics we have implemented significant measures to minimise our carbon footprint at source.
