Duas Rodas is expanding the number of ingredients in its portfolio with Fair for Life Certification (FFL), which ensures that “items meet specific environmental management criteria and ensure full traceability of the raw material.” The company now provides FFL-certified South American staples such as yerba mate, acai, guarana and acerola, which are produced at its manufacturing units in Brazil.
Successful FFL certification requires producers to ensure that 80% of their products come from Fair Trade certified sources. Products displaying the FFL label are guaranteed to have come from environmentally friendly processes practiced by fairly-paid farmers across a transparent, traceable supply chain.
The company hopes that this certification will provide further transparency and traceability of its production chain and strengthen relationships with the communities of farmers who produce the raw materials.
“With Fair for Life, we will strengthen our purpose to contribute to social and environmental progress and improve the global food trade for a system beneficial to all parties involved,” says Rosemeri Francener, international business director at Duas Rodas.
