Natural Origins' business model

Written by Maxime Angelucci | November 05, 2020

Our extraction site located near Valence (France) in the Ardeche has been operating over the last several weeks. You were able to discover this site in our latest communications.

 

Today we would like you to discover our model, which is based on managing the value chain of our botanical ingredients. Managing every step allows us to offer traced and analysed plant origin ingredients, which meet our CSR, health and quality objectives.

 

 

Sourcing

 

The objective of Natural Origins is to monitor and accompany supply chain stakeholders, ensure product traceability, which is a guarantee of quality, consistency, and security for its clients.

Our daily challenge is to provide this guarantee to over 400 plant species and 2,000 ingredients, of which 60% are organic.

 

 

In order to enable you to promote this for your end products, we likewise offer For Life and Fair for Life certification for a growing number of product references.

 

 

Transformation technologies

 

Natural Origins has two production sites:

 

1. A transformation of botanical raw materials site (Lozanne, Rhône, near Lyon, France)
