Socially Sustainable Coconut and Plant-Based Health & Wellness Enterprise
Sharing Coco Veda’s Quality Products and the Spirit of Sustainable Development with the World
Our journey began in 2015 with a passion to bring all things natural to the health and wellness scene, and a vision to build a Socially Sustainable Enterprise aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
With sustainable job creation and training, we enable our farmer partners, craftswomen, and their families to build a brighter future and break the cycle of poverty for themselves and future generations.
Inspired by Ayurveda (The Science of Life), we created a line of Health and Wellness products Handcrafted with our Signature Premium Cold-Processed Virgin Coconut Oil as a key ingredient.
This took a lot of initial hard work over the years, but we very soon became one of the only producers in the coconut industry with more than 100 Handcrafted Coconut and Plant-based Health & Wellness products.
Every coconut used in our production process is harvested by our hardworking Farmer Cooperatives in the rural parts of the Philippines.
Working with these coconut Farmer Communities directly, we are able to cut out the middlemen and get more money directly into the hands of the farmers. This provides Sustainable income for their Families, and builds a foundation for Positive Community Transformation.
Each Coco Veda product is Handcrafted with care by our expert and meticulous craftswomen in Manila, ensuring that you enjoy consistently high quality with every Coco Veda product that you purchase.
By turning our All-Women Team into Breadwinners for their families, we are able to not only help them grow their self-esteem and self-value, but also improve their standing in their community.
