Supply Chain Transparency

At Gracivo, we understand that trust is at the heart of every decision you make for your pet. We believe that transparency is key to building that trust. From the ingredients we source to the finished product that ends up in your home, we are committed to providing you with clear and detailed information about every step of our supply chain.

Our mission is not just to provide your pet with the highest-quality organic food, but to ensure that the sourcing, production, and delivery processes are ethical, sustainable, and responsible. This page outlines our dedication to transparency, our trusted partnerships, and the steps we take to ensure our supply chain is accountable at every stage.

Sourcing Our Ingredients

1. Locally Sourced, Organically Grown

We are passionate about the ingredients we use in our products, which is why we prioritize sourcing our ingredients from organic, chemical-free farms that uphold ethical farming practices. Here’s how we ensure transparency in our sourcing:

Organic : All of the ingredients used in our food are organic, meaning they are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. We believe that organic farming helps protect the environment and ensures that the food we provide is safe, nutritious, and free from harmful chemicals.
Independent Farmers: We source from small, independent farms that share our values of sustainability, ethical treatment of animals, and environmental stewardship. We pay above-market prices to ensure these farmers can thrive while practicing responsible farming techniques.
Traceability: We maintain a full traceability process, which means that every ingredient can be traced back to its origin. This helps us ensure quality, consistency, and the highest standards for your pet’s food.

Ethical and Responsible Farming Practices

We are deeply committed to supporting ethical farming practices that align with our values of respect, dignity, and love for all living beings. Here’s how we ensure that our farming partners meet our high standards:

Fair Compensation for Farmers: We pay farmers above the standard market rates for their organic produce. This allows them to reinvest in their farms and ensure that they can maintain healthy, sustainable, and responsible farming practices.
Animal Welfare: For our animal-based ingredients (such as organic chicken and fish), we work with farms that prioritize the well-being of the animals. All of our farmed animals are raised in open, free-range environments, ensuring they have access to natural living conditions, proper care, and humane treatment.
Sustainable Agriculture: Our farming partners use crop rotation, soil conservation methods, and sustainable irrigation practices. These methods help preserve the land for future generations, reduce soil degradation, and protect biodiversity.

Production Process and Quality Control

Once our ingredients are sourced, we follow a strict quality control process to ensure they meet the highest standards before they are turned into the premium food your pet deserves.

1. State-of-the-Art Production Facilities

Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with the latest technology to ensure that all products are processed safely, efficiently, and without compromise to quality. We work in close partnership with our trusted suppliers and conduct regular audits of their facilities to guarantee that everything meets our rigorous standards.

Food Safety: From raw ingredient to final product, we employ advanced food safety measures to eliminate the risk of contamination and maintain the highest hygiene standards.
Human-Grade Standards: We maintain the same quality control processes that we would use if we were producing food for humans, ensuring that every batch is consistent, safe, and nutritionally balanced.

2. Rigorous Testing

Before our products leave the production line, they undergo a series of tests, including:

Nutritional Testing: We test all of our products to ensure they meet the necessary nutritional standards for pets. We want to guarantee that your pet receives a complete, balanced, and healthy diet.
Quality Assurance: Our quality assurance team checks for any defects in packaging, ensures product consistency, and conducts sensory evaluation (color, smell, taste) to ensure that the product is up to our high standards.

Packaging Transparency

We believe that our commitment to sustainability should extend to every step of our production, including packaging. Here’s what we do to minimize our environmental footprint:

Eco-friendly Materials: All of our packaging is made from recyclable or compostable materials. We avoid using unnecessary plastic and focus on using eco-friendly alternatives to help reduce waste.
Clear Labeling: We provide clear and honest labeling on all of our products, including a breakdown of ingredients, sourcing information, and how to dispose of the packaging responsibly. Transparency in labeling helps you make informed decisions for your pet while also making sure our products are as eco-friendly as possible.

Delivery and Logistics

We also prioritize ethical and sustainable delivery practices. Here’s how we keep our supply chain green and efficient:

Energy-efficient Transportation: Our distribution partners use energy-efficient transportation methods, such as low-emission vehicles, to reduce our carbon footprint during delivery.
Local Sourcing to Minimize Shipping: By sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, we minimize the need for long-distance transportation, which further reduces our carbon emissions.

Accountability

We are committed to being fully accountable for our actions throughout the supply chain. Here’s how we maintain integrity and trust with our customers:

1. Independent Audits

Our supply chain undergoes regular third-party audits to ensure that we meet the highest standards in sourcing, production, and distribution. These audits include:

Sustainability Audits: To ensure we’re living up to our promises of supporting sustainable farming, protecting the environment, and reducing waste.
Animal Welfare Audits: To verify that our partners comply with ethical farming practices and that the animals are treated with respect and care.
