Sustainable use of the rainforest preserves a whole lot more Our values are centered around protecting one of our most vital resources. With every step and breath, we do the best we can to preserve the ecosystem and economy the rainforest provides. Before we take action, we consider the impact. SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS We put the Earth at the core of everything we do. Biodiversity Ecological Sector Reforestation Protection Reduction Footprint Biodiversity 01\u00a0 \u00a0BIODIVERSITY We support biodiversity by reforesting the land with a diverse population of trees and plants. Some bear fruit to be wild harvested, some are intended to restore degraded and deforested land, and others are simply homes to the forest\u2019s inhabitants. Together, they all help the ecosystem maintain its natural balance. Ecological Sector 02\u00a0 ORGANIC &amp; FAIR TRADE LEADERS\u00a0 Our operations at Candela Peru have helped create several organic and fair trade certifications by pioneering and setting the standard with their own practices and values. We were the first to get organic certification for brazil nuts, as well as lead the way for the FLOCERT standard in fair trade. Reforestation 03 \u00a0 REFORESTATION AND AGROFORESTRY In 1995, our Peru-based operations started our reforestation program to replenish the rainforest\u2019s brazil nut trees that had been cut down. Currently, we grow a diverse group of seedlings in our greenhouse and aim to plant 50,000 of them in 2021 alone. We have helped others plant native crops like cupuacu in deforested areas, restoring 284 acres through organic agroforestry. These efforts will not only increase carbon capture for the planet, but it will help small producers return to these areas year after year for income. Protection 04\u00a0 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION By adding value to the rainforest in its natural state, we can give small producers in the area an opportunity for additional income. With their partnership, we have successfully protected 341,593 acres of brazil nut forest and 8,330 acres of bruiti forest. We do all we can to support the sustainable management of the Amazon rainforest, and take small steps to alter how we harvest and transport that can make a difference in the survival of a species. Reduction 05\u00a0 \u00a0WASTE REDUCTION Utilizamos todas las partes de los productos que cosechamos. La pulpa se convierte en harina, las c\u00e1scaras en combustible y las vainas en velas. Con las sobras hacemos pienso para animales. Adem\u00e1s, buscamos constantemente formas de reducir los residuos. Tambi\u00e9n estamos trabajando en la fabricaci\u00f3n de briquetas de carb\u00f3n vegetal a partir de c\u00e1scaras de arroz. Tambi\u00e9n abordamos el problema de los residuos alimentarios utilizando semillas, muchas de las cuales acaban en vertederos o incineradas, donde producen metano y otras emisiones. Guardamos semillas de \u00e1rboles. Footprint 06\u00a0 \u00a0FOOTPRINT We take our impact seriously, which is why we look for ways to reduce our footprint at every turn. We\u2019ve created a process that uses leftover brazil nut shells to power our operations. Our offices are outfitted with solar panels, and we are currently working on a new water recycling system to reduce our consumption. We dispatch our products in large container shipments and warehouse them near our customers to reduce our shipping footprint as well. We use 700 tons of brazil nut shells to power our facility each year.
