Open letter from our CEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At iscal, our CSR strategy grew quite naturally to become one of the cornerstones of our company. In our capacity as suppliers of raw materials, we have a role that is impactful to many other companies and individuals, whom we are trying to involve with us in this virtuous circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our fields, where sustainable farming practices are implemented, all the way to your plate, so you may enjoy a balanced diet, without forgetting proper energy practices, which we are constantly making cleaner by moving towards a ‘zero carbon balance’, Iscal is committed to working on all fronts. Internally, our values help us ensure all our team members are able to grow so that each one of our employees is happy to come to work at Iscal every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By giving back to society what it has given us, we want to contribute to a greener, more humane, more sustainable world… a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Torck<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of Iscal is the production of sugar. But this age-old mission is driven by our values, our commitment to our work, and our vision.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
