GREEN INITIAVIVE

 

As part of our commitment, not only with our customers, share and stake holders, but with the environment, the Famar Group is taking the lead in the implementation of the principles and criteria from Round Table for Sustainable Palm (RSPO) to improve conditions of our workers, their families and communities around our plantations, Extraction Mill and Refinery.  Our first plantations were established back in the late 70s in areas used for agriculture in a very fertile strip of land on the foothills of Sierra Nevada, in northern Colombia province of Magdalena.  Our principles to manage the Land has been always in connection with the sustainable practices developed in years of experience as well as trained people to make sure we get the best from the Land and as we proved indeed with the implementation back in year 2000, of our organic plantations from where we are supplying our customers in Europe and the US with very successful quality products.

 

We have refined our practices over the years and it is a source of pride our current biological pest control, anti-erosion programs, reduction in agro-chemicals use and the residual water control in our plantations among other programs currently being executed.

 

We are glad to summarize our Green Initiative in the following points:

 

• Control and better use of water resources both at plantation level and factories.
• Solid residual emissions control.
• Liquid residual emissions control.
• Gas emissions control.
• Social responsibility.

 

You can be sure we want to be your sustainable source of world quality palm products!
