Practices
Sustainability
Our operations follow strict environmental standards in the treatment of water and air, while continuously monitoring and minimizing the emission of carbon dioxide.
TOTAL USE OF CASHEW NUT
The processing of our cashews does not leave residues in the environment. All the nuts are harvested, either as food, biomass for energy generation – or as an industrial input that has several applications, such as nut shell oil (LCC).
That is, zero waste and 100% utilization.
CLEAN ENERGY
Continuing with our commitment to sustainability, starting in the second semeter of 2017, 100% of the electricity contracted will come from wind energy sources.
Social Responsability
CONTINUED EDUCATION PROGRAM
In addition to physical health, we work hard on the development of our employees, offering training and improvement courses. We are proud to have helped over 320 employees lean to read and write through our continued education program.
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
We offer special care to our employees. Medical care, physical therapy, workplace exercise and continuous assistance to pregnant employees are some of the commitments.
SUPPLY SAFETY
Our cashew nuts undergo rigorous analysis and selection processes to ensure the highest quality of the product. Our process is automated and has high technology devices, which ensure total security.
COMMITMENT AND SECURITY
For the past 25 years, we have been building relationships with Brazilian growers all the way from Bahia to Maranhão. As a reinforcement measure for the supply of nuts, we established in 2012 an operation in Côte d’Ivoire, the world’s largest producer of cashew nuts, to bring raw material to process along with the Brazilian harvest, so we are able to supply our customers in Brazil and around the world top quality products throughout the year.
