TRANSPARENCY TO A T
Pomegranate blockchain tracing
Traceability matters when it comes to botanical ingredients. It can help track and ensure ingredient quality and responsible sourcing practices throughout the supply chain. Aveda is using this transparency in our pomegranate seed oil supply chain to help drive environmental and social improvements back to our organic sourcing communities supporting women and girls through access to a better life.
