ABOUT US
SUSTAINABLE JUICE is a CitrusBR initiative launched in mid-2015: it aims to help develop a sustainable, fair, environmentally-friendly and economically feasible citrus-fruit growing sector.
The initial goals of the platform are:
1 – to communicate up-to-date, well-organized and systematic messages about Brazil’s orange juice producing and exporting industry both domestically and internationally
2 – to create an interface between the demands of the overseas market and Brazilian stakeholders, publishing information on the consumer market, on important issues, market trends and standards that the sector is expected to meet
3 – to develop, support and facilitate projects in the fields of sustainability and CSR
4 – to help integrate the industry into public policies in sustainability and CSR
5 – to constantly bring outside audiences up to date about initiatives and projects, through institutionalized forums such as the CSR expert group of the European Fruit Juice Association (AIJN) and European CSR platform
Who takes part in it
At its inception, “Sustainable Juice” is starting out with CitrusBR and its members (Cutrale, Citrosuco and Louis Dreyfus), Brazil’s largest producers and exporters of orange juice and by-products.
Other industry stakeholders, are welcome to join projects and submit information to be published in the website about initiatives involving CSR and sustainability in Brazil.
