Responsible Sourcing

We are specialists in the development and management of sustainable supply chains of natural ingredients. We promote the fair trade in the long run among farmers and industry, in a transparent way and considering the principles of ethical biotrade. We render technical assistance, from the selection of family farmers or organized into cooperatives, through each harvest planning to obtain the best raw material complying with the quality specifications and volumes demanded by the industry.

We adopt organic practices in the cultivations that we manage, resulting also in a better quality of life for the farmers and their families. Natural ingredients sourced from origin, with traceability and transparency required by the main sustainability certification protocols. Our production chains comply with the Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the UN in 2015 and promote the development of local communities where we operate.

We engage in partnerships with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to identify the main needs of communities and to implement benefit sharing programs. Our projects represent income diversification to producers and their communities, acting with respect to the environment and the biodiversity through the adoption of recognized and legally compliant social and environmental practices.
