| Social Impact |
|
| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | The activities of the project LOVA (Lohamenaka Voatrandraka Ara-drariny – Fair trade project for clove leaf oil producing communities and sustainable natural resource management) have an impact at different levels on the clove leaf oil supply chain: • Social impact: The producers and communities benefit from the engagement into fair trade certification, including improvement in the security and hygiene conditions, funding of social projects which benefit the whole community, generation of a stable income etc. • Environmental impact: The preservation of the environment is at the heart of all actions of the LOVA project. The project was initiated in 2011 with the NGO AIM (Action Intercoopération Madagascar) and Givaudan, with the goal to create nurseries and plantations for firewood use, thus reducing the environmental impact of the distillation activity of clove leaves. In 2015, 40’000 firewood trees have been planted by the producers for their own use. Furthermore, facilities to compost distillation waste have been installed in the distilleries. • Impact on the revenue of producers: The objective of the LOVA project and its partners Givaudan and Spices and Oil is securing the sector's future, and thus providing producers with a stable and sustainable income. The impacts are concrete for the communities and the producers. The supply chain is professionalizing: opening of bank accounts for producers, contracts, loans to producers, stable and constant revenues, trainings in traceability and accounting etc. | ||||
