Carnauba Wax Brazil. We are proud that Pontes has been recognised by the UN Global Compact - Brazil Network for our excellent practices in promoting human rights, in particular in the "Elas Lideram 2030" initiative.

 The award, given during the 68th Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York, recognises companies that stand out in defending the human rights of women and young girls, especially the most vulnerable.

Pontes leads the way in the production and commercialisation of carnauba biowaxes in Brazil, featuring the highest standards in terms of quality, ethics, and sustainability.

We have now set a new benchmark for carnauba wax manufacturers in Brazil by becoming the sole company in our sector to attain carbon neutrality in our operations. This is not an empty claim! It is verified both by Intertek, a respected third party, and by our prized Gold Seal on the GHG Protocol platform. Our targets for reducing emissions have also received the stamp of approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning our ambitions with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

PONTES receives 5 leaves - the highest ranking of Fair Trade certification from Fair for Life Certification for fair trade, respect for human rights, fair working conditions, promotion of biodiversity, sustainable agricultural practices, and positive local impact.
