Mission & Goals
Bonsucro is the leading global sustainability platform and standard for sugarcane, one of the world’s most important crops. We are a global force with the purpose of collectively accelerating the sustainable production and uses of sugarcane, focusing on climate action, human rights and value in the supply chain. Our global network brings together over 300 members from more than 50 countries to address critical challenges in the sugarcane sector and drive both performance and impact through our system of sustainability standards. We work across all sugarcane products and derivatives – sugar, ethanol, molasses, and bagasse in traditional and newer market sectors, from sugar and alcohol to biofuels and bioplastics.
EU Legislative Interests
We are focused on all proposals directly and indirectly related to sugarcane. Including EU Due Diligence Directive, EU Deforestation Regulation, EU Green Claims Directive and EU trade agreements, EU Renewable Energy Directive
Communication Activities
We publish a bimonthly newsletter targeted at the global sugarcane community informing them, among others, of latest developments in the EU that they need to be aware of. We also publish reports/positions on certain policy areas such as pesticide use. We are also a sustainability scheme that is recognized under the EU Renewable Energy Directive II. We also host events in Brussels to present Bonsucro and describe how our scheme can be recognized and used in EU policy.
