OUR VALUES

QUALITY

Single Origin

Our coconut products and spices have all been carefully sourced and lovingly produced from hand-picked coconuts in Sri Lanka. 

Three By One coconut products and spices are always single origin - we will only source from Sri Lanka. 

Why Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka provides a premium quality that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else. It is locally believed that the unique flavour of Sri Lankan produce is due to the island being so small, which enables the sea breeze to circulate across the span of it. Whether you believe this or not, we know that our products have a superior quality to other brands found on the market.

There are very few brands who lay emphasis on the origin of their coconut products. Other brands tend to move supply from different countries depending on the harvest and prices. Some brands state the origin as being from a range of different countries, for example the Philippines, Fiji and/or Indonesia, or simply do not declare the origin at all. This makes it extremely difficult for those brands to provide and maintain a consistent level of quality.

As we only source in Sri Lanka, and we pack all our products at the source, we are confident of our consistent quality.

OUR COCONUT PRODUCTS ARE

ETHICS

People are our priority

We are proud to be associated with our plantations in Sri Lanka.

They pay union negotiated wages, take part in health care, welfare and community services for the area and look after all the needs of the employees who live and work in the region.

Welfare first

Workers are provided with a comprehensive selection of facilities, from housing to healthcare. Coconut mills in the Coconut Triangle of Sri Lanka are responsible for a lot of the welfare and on-going development in these areas. Schools are provided with books, co-operative shops are supported, and welfare funds are allocated for workers. Many of the businesses organise festival celebrations and other activities for the local communities.

Child labour is illegal in Sri Lanka, our producers do not employ any children.

No monkeys harmed

We guarantee that no monkeys are used to harvest our coconuts.

We are on the PETA approved list of monkey cruelty free companies.

SUSTAINABILITY

We use every part of the coconut

We are proud to be able to say there is zero waste in the production of Three By One coconut products. 

Every part of the coconut is used or re-used, from the shell through to the water used to wash the coconuts. There are no wasted by-products.

Regenerative Farming

Traditional regenerative farming methods use age-old knowledge and simple practices to help replenish the earth in a sustainable way. Our skilled farmers integrate crops to make the most of the harvest.

Coconuts, spices and fruits grow alongside each other and we limit what we harvest to ensure the fruiting and bearing cycle continues every season. This is both necessary for the health of the planet and to support the farmer’s traditional livelihoods that depend on it.

Sustainable Production

Sustainable production practice, from the plantations to production facilities, through to the well-being of employees and their families, is a major component of our selection process when finding producers. A healthy code of ethics and a focus on sustainable production were key requirements in our selection of the Coconut Triangle of Sri Lanka as our only source for coconut products.

We only use recyclable glass jars and BPA free lids & cans.

We are constantly working to eliminate all single use plastic from the complete supply chain.

We support the UN Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each goal and target by 2030.

Three By One supports all 17 sustainable goals while currently focusing on the following:

CERTIFICATION

We are organic certified

Our organic certification is issued by Control Union – Sri Lanka (operating under authority of Control Union – Netherlands) and TUV Nord Integra in Belgium. 

This ensures that all our processes, from farming and harvesting all the way through to storage, are compliant to European standards.

Why is organic certification important?

The organic certification allows complete traceability and transparency, to ensure a high quality certified organic product. Every shipment into Europe has its own transaction certificate, with a listing of the exact products that are being shipped and the Control Union authorisation confirming the organic nature of it.  A Phytosanitary certificate is issued by the Department of Agriculture confirming all natural products used pertain to the required standards for export.
