Oud Treasure's Sustainability Policy: Our Commitment to the Forest and People
Share
Having surveyed the challenges of oud sustainability and their solutions, we arrive at a question we put to ourselves: what do we at Oud Treasure commit to? This article is not vague promises, but an honest statement of the principles of our sustainability policy that we strive to uphold in our sourcing of Indonesian oud, and how we translate them into practice.
The principles of our policy
Our approach to sustainability rests on four principles we commit to working by:
| The principle | Our commitment |
|---|---|
| Responsible sourcing | We strive to source from organized, legal sources |
| Preferring cultivated | We favour cultivated oud and sustainable harvesting |
| Transparency | We disclose our oud's origin and provide documents on request |
| Community support | We are keen on fair dealing with source communities |
How do we apply these principles?
We translate our principles into daily practice: we provide natural Indonesian oud from sources we are keen to keep organized, we favour cultivated oud wherever possible, and we commit to responsible sourcing. For customers who request documentation, we strive to provide the source information and available documents. These are not slogans but standards by which we measure our work.
The truest test of any sustainability policy is to be held to account for it. We invite you to ask us about the origin of any oud you buy; our commitment to transparency means we welcome your question rather than dodge it.
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination
We do not claim perfection; sustainability is a continuous commitment in which we review our practices and strive to improve them over time, not a certificate hung up and forgotten. We believe every step toward a more responsible source is worthwhile, and that our customers' support helps us go further. And when you choose our oud, you become part of this commitment, as we explained in how to choose responsible oud.
Many environmental slogans look beautiful without substance. We prefer clarity over exaggeration: we say what we commit to, strive to fulfil it, and welcome being held to it.
Conclusion
Oud Treasure's sustainability policy rests on responsible sourcing, preferring cultivated oud, transparency, and community support. We translate it into practice, not a slogan, see it as a continuous journey of improvement rather than a final destination, and welcome your accountability. Your choice of our oud is a share in this commitment.
