OUR SUGAR

We use 100% certified sustainable cane sugar, and build strong, trusting relationships with agricultural cooperatives and producers.

In order to pursue this goal effectively and in the shortest possible time, Ferrero became a member of "Bonsucro Limited", a global network organisation that promotes sustainable cultivation of sugar cane through a certification scheme.

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.
