Sustainability & Transparency, Rooted in Ladakh

Sourcing & Transparency, Rooted in Ladakh

Cherker sources sea buckthorn berries locally from Leh, Ladakh, India.

For us, building responsibly means staying connected to the place where our key ingredient comes from and sharing clear information about our products as we grow.

Local sourcing from Leh, Ladakh

Leh is part of Ladakh, a Himalayan region where sea buckthorn grows. The berry is known for its naturally tart flavour and bright orange colour.

Cherker sources sea buckthorn berries locally from Leh, Ladakh. Because sourcing details can vary by season and batch, we keep product-specific information on each product page and product label.

Building from Ladakh

Cherker is a family-run brand rooted in Ladakh. As we grow, we aim to keep more of the work around our products connected to the region through local sourcing, operations, packaging, and brand-building.

We will share specific information about local employment, skills, and community impact when we can explain it clearly and support it with current information.

Careful product handling

We focus on careful sourcing, handling, processing, packaging, and storage so that our products reflect sea buckthorn’s natural character: tart, bright, and rooted in Ladakh.

For current ingredients, allergen information, storage guidance, and use instructions, always refer to the relevant product page and product label.

Packaging with transparency

We are reviewing our packaging choices as we grow and will publish material-specific information when it is finalised.

We will not make recyclability, compostability, reusability, or other packaging claims unless we can verify the materials used and explain clearly what customers can do with each package.

Continuous improvement

As Cherker grows, we are working toward clearer information on:

• Sourcing documentation
• Packaging materials and customer guidance
• Product-specific ingredient and storage information
• Local work and impact reporting as our systems mature

Our approach

We aim to make only claims we can explain and support. We do not use environmental certifications, organic claims, wild-harvested claims, or impact statements unless they are specific, current, and verified.

Our goal is simple: build Cherker carefully, stay connected to Ladakh, and keep improving as the business grows.
