Our Impact
Measuring What Matters
We publish impact figures only after they have been verified. The metrics below will be updated as our work develops and our data is confirmed. Placeholders are shown where data is not yet available.
Note: Niyati is at an early stage of operation. Impact figures are published only after independent verification. We do not publish estimated, projected or aspirational figures as if they were achieved outcomes. All metrics below reflect verified data only — where data is not yet available, this is stated explicitly.

Focus Areas
Our Impact Pillars
Forest Collector Livelihoods
Forest collectors — the men and women who gather produce from forest landscapes — are often among the most economically marginalised people in the communities we work with. Creating stronger market connections for their products is central to what Niyati does.
Women-Led Producer Groups
Many of the producer organisations and self-help groups we work with are led by women. We prioritise these partnerships and track the proportion of our supply chain that flows through women-led enterprises.
Artisan Community Support
Traditional craft traditions — Dhokra casting, handloom weaving, terracotta, bamboo and cane work — are under economic pressure. By bringing these products to international markets, we aim to support the communities that maintain them.
Responsible Harvesting
We source only products gathered using methods that do not damage the ecosystems they come from. We verify this at the product level, not as a blanket claim.
Packaging Sustainability
We are working to ensure that all products are packed using recyclable or minimal materials. We track this metric and publish the verified figure.
Supply Chain Transparency
We are building systems to provide full origin traceability for every product — from the forest landscape and community to the UK customer. This is a long-term commitment.
Communities
The Communities We Work With
Niyati's supply chain begins in the forests of Central India — in Bastar, Chhattisgarh and the surrounding landscapes. These are among India's most biodiverse forest regions, and home to communities whose livelihoods have been shaped by the forest for generations.
We work with forest collector groups who gather Mahua flowers, wild honey, tamarind, amla and other forest produce. We work with artisan communities who practise Dhokra casting, handloom weaving, terracotta and bamboo craft. We work with women-led producer organisations who process and package forest ingredients.
As our supply chain expands, we will add community profiles for each origin — with verified information about the communities, their products and the ecosystems they depend on.
Transparency
Our Approach to Reporting
We do not publish impact figures until they have been independently verified. We do not use estimated, projected or aspirational figures as if they were achieved outcomes. We do not make claims about communities without their knowledge and consent.
We are aware that impact reporting in the ethical trade sector is often more aspirational than evidential. We are committed to a different approach: publish less, verify more.
Our first verified impact report will be published when we have sufficient data to make it meaningful. Until then, this page will be updated as individual metrics are confirmed.
