By building and maintaining a network of trust with our suppliers, we fulfill our consumer promise to use ingredients from bio-dynamic and organic cultivation to the greatest extent possible. In order to involve our suppliers in the realisation of our aims, we make every effort to keep in regular contact with all of them.
Naturally, we depend on sourcing our raw materials and services at a reasonable, economically viable price. Nevertheless we are convinced that a fair price acceptable to both sides results from long-term cooperation, mutual trust and respect. An added bonus: both parties are independent of speculative fluctuations on the market. As we learn from each other, we develop top quality together. This creates a win-win situation: the supplier is assured of purchase and Weleda has an assured supply. Price stability, consistent quality and the exchange of expertise are the result.
A large proportion of our raw materials comes from projects around the world which have been established jointly with partners for a long-term perspective. Additional supplies that cannot be procured in this way are met through contract cultivation and distributors.
