Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Policy

Raw Organics India

Last Updated On: July 23, 2025

Introduction

At Raw Organics India, we believe that beauty should not come at the cost of health, ethics, or the environment. As a company offering skin-loving, 100 percent organic and handmade products, we have built our identity on the principles of sustainability, integrity, and well-being. We are deeply committed to preserving nature, uplifting communities, and conducting our operations with honesty and responsibility.

This Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Policy outlines our approach to integrating sustainability and ethical governance into all aspects of our business. Our ESG commitments guide our product formulations, sourcing practices, packaging strategies, employee conduct, and relationships with suppliers, partners, and customers.

Environmental Policy

We are conscious of the environmental impact that consumer product companies can create. At Raw Organics India, we minimise our ecological footprint by adopting environment-friendly practices in every stage of production and distribution.

1. Use of Natural Ingredients

All our products are formulated using plant-based oils, natural butters, mineral-rich clays, botanical extracts, and pure essential oils. We strictly avoid synthetic chemicals, parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances, and preservatives. We do not use animal-derived ingredients, and our products are 100 percent vegan and cruelty-free.

2. Sustainable Sourcing

Our raw materials are sourced from trusted and ethical suppliers who follow sustainable farming practices. We prioritise partnerships with farmers, cooperatives, and vendors who share our values of clean production and biodiversity conservation. Ingredients are sourced seasonally and responsibly to protect natural ecosystems.

3. Low-Waste Manufacturing

All our products are handmade in small batches, ensuring minimal waste during production. Our manufacturing processes consume low energy and reduce water usage through efficient methods. Waste generated during production is sorted and either composted or responsibly disposed of.

4. Plastic-Free and Eco-Friendly Packaging

We are committed to offering packaging that is safe for the planet. Our products are packed using recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable materials such as glass jars, aluminium tins, kraft paper boxes, and cloth pouches. We actively discourage single-use plastic and strive for plastic-free shipments.

5. Carbon Footprint Reduction

Raw Organics India takes steps to reduce carbon emissions by sourcing locally where possible, optimising supply chain logistics, and adopting low-carbon alternatives in operations. We continue to explore new technologies and approaches to minimise our environmental impact.

Social Policy

As a socially responsible brand, Raw Organics India is committed to promoting inclusivity, fairness, and community well-being. We aim to support people across our value chain with respect, dignity, and transparency.

1. Ethical Employment

We provide a safe, healthy, and respectful work environment to all our employees and artisans. Discrimination based on caste, gender, religion, age, disability, or background is not tolerated. Equal opportunity is ensured in hiring, training, and career development.

2. Women Empowerment

Raw Organics India supports the empowerment of women by offering employment and skill development opportunities, especially to women from underprivileged communities. Many of our products are handcrafted by women artisans, and we continue to provide flexible, dignified, and meaningful work opportunities for them.

3. Safe Working Conditions

We comply with all applicable health and safety regulations. Our workspaces are clean, well-ventilated, and equipped to ensure the physical safety and mental well-being of all workers. Employees are trained regularly on hygiene, product handling, and emergency preparedness.

4. Fair Wages and Benefits

All employees and artisans are paid fair wages in accordance with or above industry standards. We ensure timely payments, offer health and leave benefits, and create an open-door policy for any work-related concerns.

5. Community Engagement

We believe in giving back to the society that supports us. Raw Organics India conducts awareness programs on clean beauty, self-care, and environmental conservation. We regularly partner with NGOs, schools, and local communities to promote wellness and sustainability through campaigns, workshops, and product donations.

Governance Policy

Governance at Raw Organics India is guided by transparency, accountability, and strong ethical values. We operate with a clear focus on compliance, honesty, and long-term stakeholder trust.

1. Ethical Business Practices

We are committed to conducting business with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. All our operations are guided by a strict code of conduct that applies to employees, vendors, and business partners.

2. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We comply with all applicable local and national laws, including those related to labour, environment, taxation, cosmetics, intellectual property, and data protection. We maintain accurate records, ensure timely reporting, and monitor regulatory developments closely.

3. Transparent Communication

We believe in honest communication with all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and regulators. Product ingredients, usage directions, expiry dates, and sustainability claims are clearly labelled and disclosed. Customer queries and concerns are handled promptly with care and clarity.

4. Data Privacy and Protection

Raw Organics India values the privacy of its customers and ensures the confidentiality and security of personal data. We collect only necessary information, use it responsibly, and store it securely. We never share or sell customer data to third parties.

5. Anti-Corruption and Whistleblower Protection

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery, corruption, and unethical influence. Employees and stakeholders are encouraged to report any violations anonymously without fear of retaliation. Proper investigation procedures are in place for addressing such complaints fairly.

ESG Monitoring and Review

We understand that our ESG journey is an ongoing process. To stay true to our commitments, we regularly evaluate our practices and set measurable goals for improvement.

• Annual ESG Reporting: We aim to track and publish our ESG performance annually, covering environmental metrics, social impact, and governance initiatives.

• Internal Audits: Periodic audits are conducted to assess compliance with ESG objectives.

• Stakeholder Feedback: We welcome feedback from customers, employees, suppliers, and communities to refine our policies and actions.

• Continuous Learning: Our team stays updated on global ESG trends, new technologies, and innovations in sustainable beauty.
