Sustainability

Protecting the planet is one of our highest priorities. Our manufacturing processes were developed in consultation with an Environmental Science professor to ensure the environmental soundness of our ingredients and packaging, from creation to post-use. We believe in full transparency and are always reviewing our systems to see how we can do better.

Sans is dedicated to reducing our impact on the land, sea and water. We are currently measuring our impact, via third party providers, to create a foundation for science-backed action and the most effective way forward.

To formalise and independently verify our regenerative practices we are working with Toitū to achieve a net carbon zero certification. We endeavour to be formally certified Carbonzero by September 2022. To create a wider beneficial environmental impact, we intend to be Carbon Positive by the end of 2022.
