| Impact, special achievements & commitments | | | Sambazon the 1st Fairtrade Certified Açai Company Since 2000 Sambazon has been helping protect the Amazon Rainforest with Fairtrade certified acai. Ensuring local collectors can make a good sustainable living off of the intact forest. A team of dedicated Sambazon employees work directly with collectors to ensure they are following the Fairtrade principles of -no child labor, no clear cutting for farms, illegal mining, collecting endangered or threatened animals/plants. Sambazon employees also teach safe harvesting practices and sustainable management of the rainforest. With our fair-trade fund we reinvest in the communities to finance development projects identified by the communities themselves. Sambazon has built, schoolrooms, nursing centers, cafeterias and sports centers. Our two factories in Brazil follow Fairtrade requirements. Our supply chain is vertically integrated-from the forest, to factories, to retailers, to You. As we say-From the Palm of the tree to the Palm of your hand. | ||||
