"At Ocho Sur, we firmly believe that sustainability is the only path forward. Forest Week is an opportunity to make visible our daily efforts toward a responsible palm oil industry that protects native forests, preserves biodiversity and generates well-being for families in the region," said Alfonso Morante, senior executive at Ocho Sur.
Morante emphasized that the company operates under strict national and international sustainability standards and legal compliance, serving as an example of how agroindustrial activity can integrate positively within the Amazonian landscape — working alongside national and local authorities, indigenous communities and environmental organizations to safeguard Ucayali's forest ecosystems.
Forest Protection in Action
As part of its social responsibility policy, Ocho Sur implements concrete and innovative initiatives to protect Ucayali's forests through strategic alliances with indigenous communities. The company provides economic incentives to preserve more than 2,000 hectares of primary forest for a period of 25 years.
To date, formal agreements have been signed with two indigenous communities:
- C.N. Shambo Porvenir: 803.65 hectares under conservation agreement
- C.N. Santa Clara de Uchunya: 1,200 hectares under conservation agreement
Under these agreements, Ocho Sur provides economic incentives for forest monitoring and conservation, while contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of community members.
Ocho Sur's sustainability model is backed by internationally recognized certifications, including EU Organic, USDA Organic, Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) and Regenagri — the international standard for regenerative agriculture — reflecting the company's long-term commitment to responsible production in the Peruvian Amazon.
