Organic Business Practices
Our strong concern for the environment informs every area of our business. We are firm believers in sustainable practices and use these to sustain our organic herb farm in Kerala. We employ a vermiculture system at The Ayurvedic Healing Village to recycle all our organic waste for compost, which is then used to enrich the soil of our organic herb farm. We recently installed a waste treatment and recycling plant, to ensure maximum sustainability at our Kerala centre. We use CFL lights and state-of-the-art power generators to cut our carbon footprint by over 40%. Our environmental action also takes the form of education, to decrease the use of polythene and raise awareness among staff, associates and customers. We plan to use a 1.25MW windmill as a source of alternative energy to run our establishment.
Local Outreach
Kerala is our home and roots; without its ancient wisdom our success would not have been possible. We firmly believe that we should maintain our ties with the local community and be sure to give much more than we take from them. Our charitable outreach programs serve a range of vital needs in the surrounding population.
- SHIV AYURVED Ayurvedic Group provides agricultural land to local farmers in economic difficulty. We also purchase or facilitate the sale of any surplus grain on MSP (minimum support price)
- We work in partnership with the ‘Hope’ foundation to provide skilled training to local adults, with a special focus on bringing young women economic independence
Our lives are complimentary to social norms. People who are active in social life are always admirable because of the dedication and contribution for the greater humanitarian benefit.
