USDA-NOP
This certification ensures compliance with the US Department of Agriculture's organic standards. Organic standards promote practices that conserve resources and biodiversity, meaning that these operations must maintain or improve soil and water quality.
In addition, the United States has an equivalence agreement with Canada, allowing USDA-certified organic products to access the Canadian market and vice versa. This means that organic products certified according to USDA or Canadian organic standards can be labelled and sold as organic in both countries, as long as they meet the terms of the agreement. In this way, Pontes ensures that carnauba wax meets the highest standards of organic certification in various markets.
Benefits of organic carnauba wax
Pontes carnauba wax, certified organic, follows sustainable, chemical-free farming methods, which help preserve local ecosystems and biodiversity. Because it is a natural and organic wax, it contains no chemicals or synthetic toxins, which reduces the consumer's exposure to these potentially harmful substances. Organic carnauba wax is a safer alternative to synthetic waxes, for example, which can contain substances harmful to health.
Investment in social and environmental projects
In addition to the benefits related to health and quality, Pontes allocates part of the profits from organic carnauba wax to socio-environmental projects, with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of local communities.
Decent work
With the aim of generating income and decent work for the regions with the lowest HDI and greatest social vulnerability in Brazil, especially in the hinterland of the Caatinga, we benefit rural workers with formal jobs, fair wages, guaranteed human rights, as well as social benefits, health and safety.
Increasing social well-being and local prosperity
We invest in skills development and human potential through training in the best socio-environmental practices, which increases productivity and development opportunities, making carnauba activity a prosperous and attractive option that goes beyond mere subsistence.
Sustainable Communities
In addition, we establish partnerships with public and private institutions, as well as with local communities, to promote the reduction of social inequality, improved quality of life, education, environmental awareness about the Caatinga, the recovery of green spaces and local development, thus contributing to building sustainable communities.
The production and commercialisation of organic carnauba wax contributes to the preservation of the environment and promotes fair and sustainable agricultural practices. Investing in sustainable development projects in the communities involved in the carnauba production chain strengthens these communities, guaranteeing decent work and decent conditions for the workers. These investments not only foster environmental preservation and biodiversity, but also contribute to the recovery of ecosystems and green spaces.
