Environmentally friendly initiatives
Protecting the environment of Madagascar involves fighting against deforestation and preserving biodiversity:
Planting more than 100,000 feet of cinnamon per year, in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Environmental education of communities in our partner sectors.
Training producers in the sectors and replanting actions.
Our teams participate in several reforestation days.
Use of biomass boilers for our stills and those of our partner suppliers, powered by recycled fuels which are more environmentally friendly than wood:
- Bamboo used by farmers to build temporary rafts
- Raw materials residues after distillation (cloves, cinnamon or Niaouli leaves which burn readily after drying)
- Residues of plant materials from surrounding companies
Our R&D department works continuously to improve the energy efficiency of our installations.
Our knowledge and technologies are then shared with our suppliers and partners so that their production also becomes more environmentally friendly.
