Sustainability
Our approach at Beacon Commodities is sustainability-driven to its core. We ethically source botanicals and animal products, support sustainable farming, and practice carbon-efficient storage and importation to reduce our footprint.
In collaboration with suppliers, we also encourage the use of conventional sustainable practices like sun drying and hand peeling orange peel in Spain. This not only helps communities and the environment, but also guarantees high quality ingredients. Read more about our approach to sustainability
