Bonsucro

To ensure sustainable practices.

“Bonsucro – An International Standard for Advancing Sustainability in Sugarcane Cultivation and Sugar Production | The Backbone of Sustainable Cane Business.” Cristalla adopts the sustainable sugarcane and sugar standard of Bonsucro as the primary framework for developing the sugarcane industry sustainably. This aims to enhance competitiveness in the global market while preparing for future environmental and carbon regulations. BONSUCRO Bonsucro is an international standard for sustainable sugarcane and sugar production. It was established through collaboration among academics, sugarcane farmers, and the private sector. It is a non-profit organization working collectively to set standards for sugarcane and sugar production that ensure sustainability across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. There is a single unified production standard known as the Bonsucro Standard, which covers the following key principles:

Bonsucro supports Cristalla in…

01Manage raw material risks (Sustainable & Traceable Cane)
02Reduce Carbon & Water Intensity in a tangible and measurable way
03Establish verifiable Supply Chain Transparency
04Create sustainable growth together with farmers and communities
05Align operations with Net Zero 2050 and international ESG standards

Regenerative Cane FarmingFrom Cost Control to Asset Creation

To strengthen and upgrade the sugarcane cultivation system for long-term stability, while addressing climate variability, raw material cost volatility, and Net Zero goals.

Cristalla applies Regenerative Agriculture to sugarcane farms

  • No burning of sugarcane, and management of crop residues to return carbon to the soil

  • Use of organic fertilizer from filter cake and internal bio-based materials

  • Improvement of soil and water management systems to increase Soil Organic Carbon and water-holding capacity

  • Reduction of high–carbon-emission production inputs

  • Knowledge transfer and incentive programs for network farmers

Regenerative Cane Farming helps farmers to:

  • Reduce production cost per rai through soils with better water and nutrient retention

  • Increase yield stability, even during droughts or irregular rainfall

  • Reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers and lower long-term input costs

  • Lower carbon intensity of sugarcane from upstream production

Healthy soil = Stable yields = Lower risk
