How we work
Regenerative supply chain
We buy directly from 259 farming families and their cooperatives, at a 30-50% premium over the market price, with contracts of 5 years or more, quarterly audits and a zero-tolerance policy on deforestation.
Forest and biodiversity
754 hectares of Amazonian agroforest are under sustainable management in our supply chain. Wild fruits are harvested in a way that keeps the standing forest valuable for the families who protect it.
Fair income
Every family we buy from earns above the regional minimum wage at the point of purchase. Our sourcing has already impacted 45,550 lives in the Amazon.
Traceability and quality
Every batch is traceable from the farming family to the end customer, through our ERP system. Our supply chain is IFS Broker certified.
Our non-negotiables
Every supplier we work with must meet these conditions, without exception:
- Zero deforestation, verified by satellite monitoring (INPE).
- Zero child labour and zero forced labour: immediate contract termination on any confirmed violation.
- Income above the regional minimum wage at the point of purchase.
- Valid environmental registration (CAR) in line with the Brazilian Forest Code.
- No pesticides banned under Brazilian law or EU regulation.
- No activity on indigenous lands or conservation units without official clearance and the free, prior and informed consent of the communities.

How we measure
| Indicator | How often | How |
|---|---|---|
| Hectares under sustainable management | Quarterly | Satellite monitoring and field audits |
| Families impacted and their income | Twice a year | Purchase records compared with the official CAGED wage benchmark |
| Tons of fruit processed | Monthly | Automatically from our ERP |
| Supplier compliance | Quarterly | Physical audits and INPE satellite monitoring |
| CO₂ sequestered by the forest | Annually | Verra / Gold Standard methodology |
