Bunge’s support and expertise in monitoring and tracking is critical to the overall improvement of our supply chain. It accelerated our adaptation to market demands.”
Bunge believes the commodities we source should be produced in a manner that is traceable and closely monitored, and that we protect forests and biodiversity, contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions, have a positive social impact, and respect the rights of indigenous peoples, workers and local communities. Therefore, in 2015, we made a voluntary public commitment to reach deforestation-free value chains worldwide by 2025, covering direct and indirect sourcing, and including joint ventures. This is the most ambitious commitment at our scale in our industry. In 2020, we expanded our commitment to include native vegetation conversion in relevant geographies across South America. We have also launched a program to expand our monitoring systems of indirect purchases of soy in Brazil. With that, we are sharing our experience, methodologies and tools at no cost with partner resellers, like Agricola Alvorada, who are interested in implementing or improving the socioenvironmental assessment with their farmer suppliers.
