Citrosuco announced it has secured a $25 million “green” loan from Rabobank. The aim is to strengthen the company’s ESG (environmental, social and governance) commitments.
Among the indicators to be developed by 2030 are the expansion of water resilience capacity in periods of drought; increased development rates of the sustainable value chain for fruit certification; and the strengthening of actions aimed at Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Camila Anaici (pictured, left), Citrosuco’s Global Financial Manager, explains that the loan will be used in a five-year investment cycle, “ensuring Citrosuco’s leading role in transforming the value chain and generating a positive impact.”
For Orlando Nastri (pictured, right), Head of ESG at Citrosuco, the initiative reinforces the company's commitment to practices that enhance sustainability. The same applies to Mário Ferreira (pictured, center), Director of Corporate Clients at Rabobank Brazil, who celebrates the operation by highlighting the company's progress in recent years and the positive long-term impacts.
