Certifications and Awards

The many certifications we have achieved prove to our customers that we employ the best practices in our operations.

Among the standards we follow, Bonsucro stands out, which certifies the sustainable production of sugarcane derivatives throughout the production chain.

In 2017, the Biorigin business unit obtained certification for the custody chain, ensuring the origin and traceability of the products sold. We made several market commitments that certify and improve the sustainability of our activities.

An example of this is the Greener Ethanol Protocol, regulated in April 2018 by the Government of the State of São Paulo. The initiative derives from the Agro-Environmental Protocol, which had the achieved purpose of mechanizing 100% of the sugarcane harvest by 2017.

Our commitment was expanded in 10 guidelines to adopt the best practices in the sugar-energy chain. These guidelines include, among others, aspects related to the conservation of soil and water resources, reuse of sugarcane by-products, firefighting, and biodiversity restoration and protection.

Zilor meets the strict international standards of the quality certification and is certified by ISO 9001, FSSC 22000 and Kosher standards.

Biorigin was the first biotechnology company in the world to obtain the Bonsucro certification for the custody chain.

In addition, Biorigin is certified for the production of the following specific lines of food products:

• Halal – Certifies that Biorigin’s products comply with Islamic standards.
• GMP – Certifies that additives and ingredients for animal nutrition, as well as their commercialization, comply with the requirements established in this standard.
• Kosher– Certifies that Biorigin’s products comply with Jewish laws.
