Society is increasingly demanding that businesses have a greater commitment to sustainability and social/environmental responsibility, and this product delivers results that go beyond quality. By offering an organic product, the company positively impacts the institutional image of the brand. In addition to sugarcane being cultivated without burning, no pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used, which usually make the final product harmful to health. For the pharmaceutical or cosmetics industries, it is a great differential to be able to produce a 100% organic product so that people with allergies or sensitive skin can use them.
