The factory is powered by the shells of the nuts to create a ‘first time ever range of favoured Brazil nuts’ that are now available in the US, UK, Singapore and UAE. The factory has been built in Peru in the centre of the jungle to lower their carbon footprint in the supply chain.
Truly Nuts are paying women in their Amazon-based Brazil nut factory at least 50% more than minimum wage. Female single parents families in the Amazon make up more than a quarter.
The company pledges that 25% of their profits will go to global projects that benefit the planet, including the Amazon rainforest and the local communities that depend on it.
The social enterprise has collaborated with One Tree Planted and are reforesting the jungle with one million trees irrespective of profits. The Brazil nuts are wild and come from the Amazon jungle without any human intervention in their growing cycle.
