Enjoy flavor and quality with social and environmental responsibility.
Over 75% of our packaging is recyclable, making it more environmentally friendly. We focus on ensuring that each product maintains food safety, and promoting responsible practices throughout our value chain.
We operate 21 water treatment plants for a sustainable future.
We operate 21 water treatment plants and have around 700 environmental management systems, including septic tanks, composting systems, grease traps, deep bedding systems and bio-digesters, which enable us to optimize the use of resources in a responsible way.
Over a million trees planted for a sustainable future.
We have planted more than one million trees across 3,450 hectares. This initiative improves biodiversity, regulates the climate and contributes to carbon sequestration by working with local communities and authorities to restore key ecosystems in Guayaquil, Bucay and other strategic areas. Management includes monitoring the growth of the trees to ensure their sustainability and natural regeneration in the long term.
We turn organic waste into useful resources for sustainable production.
We collect and process solid waste from our palm heart production lines to reuse it as feed for ruminant livestock. This initiative promotes an efficient circular economy, minimizes waste and reinforces our commitment to sustainability throughout our value chain.
