The group&#8217;s president, Ulisses Matiolli Sabar\u00e1, is one of four Brazilians named to date by the entity as pioneers in sustainable development goals (SDGs). His recognition as an SDG Pioneer in the program&#8217;s first edition in 2016 scores many points when it comes to doing business with Canadian companies. The achievement came as a result of his efforts aligned with United Nations ODS 15 on Life on Land.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Canada also stands out for sustainability. In a list that measures countries&#8217; performance, it ranks among the top 20 in the SDG Index, the UN ranking that measures performance in 17 categories \u2013 among them, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, clean energy, consumption, and production responsibility. SDG stands for Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>Sabar\u00e1 attributes his recognition as an SDG Pioneer to the Sociobiodiversity Enhancement Program. The initiative came from one of the Group&#8217;s four business units, Beraca, which operates in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and personal care industry. In the last three years, the Program has received investments of BRL 8.6 million, intended to maintain its activities in about 250 thousand hectares with organic certification and actions such as water conservation and biodiversity. In all, 2,500 families directly benefited from it.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Beraca was recognized for the fifth consecutive time as the most sustainable chemical company in Brazil by the Exame Sustainability Guide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canada organic business expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Sabar\u00e1 Group president sees the Canadian market as a &#8220;mature and demanding market that demands quality and innovative products, with a real appeal for sustainability.&#8221; This vision has become clearer with their participation in B\u00e9n\u00e9fiq, one of the major events on the future of food and nutrition in the world. The Group was present at the biennial meeting in Quebec through Concepta Ingredients, its business unit specializing in healthy, natural, and organic foods.<\/p>\n<p>At Concepta, the president highlights the plant-based non-GMO line \u2013 without genetically modified organisms \u2013 as one of his main bets to land new successes on Canadian land. The portfolio features vegan vegetable butter and liquid organic sugars and the launch in 2020 of functional organic syrups from Brazilian fruits such as a\u00e7ai, jaboticaba, and passion fruit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Latin America&#8217;s only Sodium chlorite manufacturer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sabar\u00e1 Group invests around 3% of its revenues in innovation, which is equivalent to BRL 7 million per year. Focusing on the B2B market, one of its latest innovations is the production of Sodium Chlorite, which turned it into the only manufacturer of that chemical compound in Latin America. To raise part of the investment in the Chlorite plant, we issued green bonds \u2013 debentures of BRL 20 million. This was the first issue of Green Bonds by a Latin American chemical company.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium Chlorite can be applied in about ten different markets, such as food, helping to preserve products; oral hygiene, in tooth whitening and toothpaste items; and textile, for treating fabric fibers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sabar\u00e1 Group: 60 years of history.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A member of CCBC for about a year and a half, Sabar\u00e1 specializes in developing high-performance technologies, solutions, and raw materials.
