Raw materials are sourced from Spain and from Hunan Province, China. Naked Sprout recognises that China has been identified as a high risk territory. We work directly with factories who manufacture our products. We ensure that any suppliers are FSC certified to assist us in ensuring that certain standards are met throughout our supply chain. 

Naked Sprout and our factory are certified B Corps, and have committed to a declaration on employee welfare as part of our certification.

Naked Sprout operates from DPD’s warehouse facility in the UK. Naked Sprout is delivered to consumers by DPD. DPD’s Modern Slavery Statement is published online here: https://www.dpd.co.uk/content/about_dpd/modern-slavery-statement.jsp

Naked Sprout will continue to assess all our delivery partners for their ethical practices and environmental credentials.
