Ethical Sourcing—Because we value the origin of every ingredient
Le Moi-Peau has always insisted that every ingredient in our products must be necessary, avoiding arbitrary additions just to cut costs, because we value the experience of all consumers and aim to maximize the effectiveness of each ingredient. Moreover, in selecting the sources of our ingredients, we hope to exert a small influence to promote a more friendly step towards society and the environment, which is why we choose to use ethically sourced ingredients.
Definition of Ethical Sourcing
Ethical sourcing is a business practice where companies or brands, beyond commercial value, pay attention to the ethical, social, and environmental factors of their partners to determine whether to purchase their services or products. In simple terms, it emphasizes that companies in the procurement process should not only focus on price and quality, but also consider the production processes, supply chains, and impacts of the products or services, ensuring compliance with standards of social responsibility and sustainability. 
Common Goals of Ethical Sourcing
-
Social Responsibility: Adhering to ethical and legal standards, and valuing human rights, labor rights, and social equity.
-
Environmental Sustainability: Understanding the environmental impact of products or services, minimizing carbon footprints, conserving resources, and supporting sustainable development.
-
Responsible Supply Chain: Monitoring the supply chain to ensure that all parties comply with the code of conduct, preventing human rights violations and unethical practices.
-
Quality and Credibility: Ensuring the quality of products or services, maintaining brand reputation, and the quality and safety of the final products.
The Blood and Tears Behind Fast Fashion—Labor Exploitation
The rise of fast fashion brands seems to offer us fashionable clothing at low prices, but behind this lies many humanitarian and ethical issues, such as child labor, unreasonable wages and working hours, and unsafe environments. These problems are not directly visible to consumers, which is why we should start to value ethical sourcing to resist these exploitations from the root.
If you value environmental protection, ethical sourcing can help you prioritize environmentally friendly brands to practice your beliefs.
Seppic Commitment to Ethical Biotrade Sourcing
The centella asiatica used in Le Moi-Peau products is provided by Seppic. They choose to establish long-term partnerships with local harvesters in Madagascar to ensure that they can maintain a stable livelihood through the cultivation of centella asiatica. Not only that, they have also built 130 schools for local children, enrolling over 3,000 students each year, helping to improve their future lives through the provision of educational resources. At the same time, they fund nutritional programs for over 2,000 children each year, ensuring they have enough food and access to basic medical care.
Why We Should Value "Ethical Sourcing"
From the consumer's perspective, we can recognize another term—Ethical Consumerism, which refers to purchasing goods that align with ethical consciousness, valuing the overall benefit of the world rather than personal profit.
Of course, the emphasis on safety in ethical sourcing is also a guarantee for consumers. It ensures that the products you purchase use safe materials and do not cut corners in any part of the supply chain.
