Silvan Ingredient Ecosystem

Our ingredient ecosystem fosters connections between farmers and brands that enables ingredients to be celebrated for their biodiversity rather than as commodities. Through collaboration we foster knowledge sharing, access, and agency that creates economic value from biodiversity and progressive practices, this enables further sustainability and resilience.

Regenerative supply chains actively work to benefit all of the plants and people involved in them. Traditional extractive approaches often have net negative impacts; sustainable practices seek to be net neutral; but regenerative practices aim to have a net positive impact on all the people and plants involved. In other words, we work to leave the world better than we found it.

Blockchain works by storing data points on an open ledger, that essentially makes it impossible to alter or falsify. We use blockchain technology to create data lots for every step in a supply chain, which are stored on an immutable ledger online, and this enables us to prove exactly who produces what and where our ingredients come from.

Yes, we use third party certifications. These vary with each supply chain that we partner with, to ensure the most effective and suitable third party certifications are used.

We believe it is most critical to know where each particular ingredient is sourced from, and the way that it has been sourced, rather than advocating for blanket bans on ingredients. We want to work with challenging ingredients rather than abandoning them.

Palm oil can be sustainable when it’s cultivated using organic farming practices, in careful balance with the environment and where operations are inclusive to smallholder farmers, in areas where palm is indigenous. Palm oil is a critical part of the global sustainability discourse because it is the highest yielding vegetable oil per hectare.
