In addition to Bonsucro, Ferrero launched the “Sustainable Development Programme”, a five-year programme from 2016-2020 implemented with Ctm Altromercato in Mauritius. The general objective of this programme is to improve and enhance the economic, environmental and social sustainability of small sugarcane producers in Mauritius, going beyond the existing commercial partnership with the Mauritius Sugar Syndicate.
