Sustain Program

Logo da Parceira

Sustentar encompasses social, environmental, economic, ethical, and governance areas, in accordance with legal requirements, focusing on adapting the property for the well-being of the farmer and their family, their employees, their pets and livestock; full respect for applicable legislation and regulations; and attention to good agronomic practices.

Good agricultural practices as an essential pillar for sustainability in the field.

Methodology

The Sustentar program is implemented through technical inspections conducted by a team of trained agronomists, with at least two visits per supplier. Data collection forms and apps based on ISO 19011 are used. Actions include interviews, document analysis, property photos, and verification of 164 indicators covering social pillars (e.g., decent work), environmental pillars (e.g., zero deforestation), and economic pillars (e.g., profitability, taxes and duties collected), in addition to undergoing analysis by the company's Compliance sector, according to Caramuru's Supplier Policy.

Sustentar promotes a more efficient and responsible agricultural supply chain aligned with best market practices.
