Symrise Amazon in Brazil is the first manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, fragrances and flavours in Latin America certified by the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT).
UEBT audited and certified that Symrise Amazon upholds high ethical and ecological principles in the sourcing of 19 natural ingredients from the Amazon region.
Andiroba oil and passion fruit oil, cupuaçu butter and acai berry puree are just a few examples of valuable ingredients for cosmetic products and perfumes that find their way from the heart of the Amazon rain forest to the world market. Certification by the UEBT ensures that ethical biotrade practices are implemented along the supply chain promoting the conservation of biodiversity during the sourcing of raw materials and that the grower communities benefit from fair prices and local projects for their sustainable development.
The current certification of Symrise Amazon confirms that the ingredients sourced from 14 grower communities and cooperatives in the Brazilian Amazon region are done so according to the internationally recognised UEBT Ethical BioTrade Standard. The focus of the independent review lay on Symrise Amazon’s internal monitoring process, which verifies and documents the originand path of the products and oversees compliance with standards.
