Live Supply-Chain Data

8 farms · 132 reviewed weekly reports · latest week 2026-08-17

Partner farms report fieldwork, hours, harvest and environmental conditions every week. Figures are counted only after an administrator reviews each report. The system continuously tracks 28 impact indicators across five areas — disability employment, local procurement, biodiversity, climate action and supply-chain governance — each mapped to GRI, SDG or TNFD.

Traceability · From Field to Table

2026Q3 · photographed by the farm at the moment of harvest and packing

Every batch of herbs carries a traceable record: harvest, packing and transport are each logged with photographs taken on the spot — an internal check, and a way for supporters to see the whole journey.

Sustainability Governance

Credible data comes from process. Every Selvans partnership operates under the following mechanisms:

  • Annual stakeholder survey (corporate questionnaire and service-user feedback)
  • Impact reporting system: carbon-footprint and inclusive-participation data built around corporate needs, published annually
  • Synesgy sustainability assessment, conducted annually
  • Half-yearly pesticide residue testing, held to zero detection
  • Every partnership accompanied by a contract, an ethical-sourcing statement and a social impact assessment
  • Product carbon-footprint inventory to be completed in 2026
