Our Environmental Management System guides the expansion of Chemyunion's business, preventing and minimizing social and environmental impacts. We promote sustainability at all levels, with indicators and initiatives focused on eco-efficiency.
Organic Cultivation
We have obtained the Ecocert organic farming certification for various plant species used in our products, such as Bidens pilosa, Thymus vulgaris, and Physalis angulata.
This initiative promotes respect for the culture of rural communities and economic and ecological sustainability. We are continuously seeking improvements to maximize social benefits and protect the environment.
