Land 

* All our land ingredients are certified organic. 
* Organic agriculture has a far lower carbon footprint than conventional agriculture and can therefore mitigate climate change.  Organic agriculture has lower greenhouse gas emissions and can act as a carbon sink, to sequestre or trap carbon.  
* Organic agriculture protects and increases bio-diversity and promoted conservation goals as well as a healthy and vital soil. 
* Organic agriculture does not require the production or use of toxic chemicals or result in their subsequent leakage or runnof into the water system.  Organic farmers work to retain natural water resources and to reduce nitrate runoff.   This runoff from normal non-organic agriculture has serious marine implications.
* Organic factory production does not allow the vast majority of chemically-derived additives, flavours, colours, processes and preservatives that are usually allowed in food.  Only a very limited number of non-toxic necessary additives can be included in an organic product. 
* The organic system of certification ensures that there is a verification and traceability system and that all organic ingredients and products conform to organic standards.  This system is enforced by law and whilst cheating does and can occur, it is fairly easy, through the verification process and tests performed by companies and governments, to locate, punish and prevent it.
