Oleoplan has earned the Social Biofuel Seal (SBS) for the plant located in Cacoal/RO; with this, all of the Group’s industrial units now hold the SBS, consolidating the social commitments defended by the company. The certification, granted by the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA), provides for the productive inclusion of family farming in the biodiesel chain, guaranteeing that part of all the raw material purchased by the unit comes from farmers who hold a DAP (Declaration of Aptitude to Pronaf).
Oleoplan obtaining this certification is a significant step towards increasing the participation of our Cacoal/RO unit in the biodiesel market. In addition, Oleoplan is now responsible for the productive inclusion of more than 30,000 family farmers, directly or indirectly. As well as purchasing raw materials, the families receive technical assistance – from planting to harvesting – and a guarantee to buy their production.
