25 years promoting sustainable and traceable ingredient supply chains, delivering quality products with social and environmental responsibility.
Centroflora adopts sustainable practices that minimize environmental impacts and preserve biodiversity. Our portfolio of botanical extracts and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) is produced sustainably, with cultivation and harvesting practices that respect the environment and benefit family farmers and extractive communities. We use clean energy and efficient production processes, transforming the waste from our production into organic compost for our farms and reusing extracted solvents for new applications, promoting a zero-waste circular economy.
Our "Partnerships for a Better World" program is central to our sustainable approach, involving over four thousand families in initiatives that promote income distribution and local development. Through Brazbio, a joint venture with Givaudan, we continue to expand these initiatives, ensuring the traceability and quality of the natural ingredients we supply, as well as the sustainability of the crops that make up our portfolio.
We are committed to benefit-sharing, promoting income and local development for family farmers and extractive communities.
Social responsibility is a fundamental pillar of Centroflora, reflected in our numerous partnerships and community initiatives. Our "Partnerships for a Better World" program involves family farmers in long-term contracts, promoting mutual benefits and local development. This program has transcended its initial mission of eliminating middlemen, becoming a model of sustainable income distribution and positive community impact.
The Floravida Institute, established in 2002, promotes education, environmental conservation, and local development through programs focused on health, education, sustainable infrastructure, and socio-environmental technologies. It manages initiatives such as CentroFauna, which promotes the conservation of local wildlife; Pró-Saúde, which provides medical care and health campaigns for underserved communities; and Terraflora, which focuses on sustainable agricultural practices and the restoration of degraded areas. These actions directly benefit thousands of people, reinforcing our commitment to the human and social development of the communities where we operate.
The governance of Grupo Centroflora is guided by transparency, integrity, and ethics. With an active Advisory Board composed of qualified members, we provide strategic support to the Executive Board, ensuring efficient management free from conflicts of interest. This board is essential in guaranteeing that our corporate governance practices are always aligned with the highest standards.
To strengthen our internal controls and promote a culture of compliance, we have a Compliance Committee and a robust Corporate Risk Management model. This model aims to enhance the organization's value and reduce risks, promoting transparency in all operations. Independent audits by Big Four firms ensure the efficiency and reliability of our processes and results.
Our ethical commitment is reinforced by the Code of Conduct, which guides all internal and external relations of the company. We continuously review the Code of Conduct and hold regular meetings of the Board and Advisory Board, ensuring that relevant issues are addressed and essential concerns are communicated. These practices strengthen the culture of responsibility and transparency throughout the organization, securing our position as leaders in corporate governance.

Created by the Centroflora Group in 2003, the Partnerships for a Better World Program focuses on environmental conservation and supporting local communities through the sustainable management of medicinal plants with a strong socio-environmental responsibility.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is cultivated by family farmers, with traceability and technical support to optimize productivity. The sustainability program aims to diversify local income, engage young people in agriculture, and ensure good agricultural practices, promoting supply stability and production expansion. Learn more about the project in the video.
Jaborandi (Pilocarpus microphyllus) is crucial for the production of medications for glaucoma, presbiopya and xerostomia. Due to its endangered status, sustainable management is essential for its preservation. The program promotes responsible harvesting, provides training, distributes management tools, and implements seedling production for intercropping. These actions ensure traceability, direct purchases, and generate income for communities, balancing environmental preservation with the sustainable use of forests.
The Centrofauna Program is dedicated to biodiversity conservation, focusing on the rehabilitation, release, and monitoring of wild animals rescued from trafficking and mistreatment. Founded in 2002 in partnership with UNESP (São Paulo State University), the program provides veterinary care, promotes environmental education, and conducts scientific research.
The Pró-Saúde Program, established in 2003, operates in Parnaíba-PI and Botucatu-SP, focusing on health promotion, disease prevention, and social inclusion. Annually, it distributes millions of reais in medications in partnership with major pharmaceutical companies and manages a health clinic adjacent to Centroflora IFA’s manufacturing facility. The program aims to expand public healthcare services by providing therapies using medicinal plants.
The Terraflora Program, established in 2009, promotes sustainable development in agricultural and extractive communities, focusing on education, infrastructure, and environmental conservation in low Human Development Index (HDI) areas across Bahia, Piauí, and São Paulo. Initiatives include rural literacy and ecological sanitation, standing out for improving quality of life in rural areas, fostering social inclusion, and preserving the environment.
The Coletive 60+ promotes the inclusion and well-being of the elderly through educational and preventive activities such as art therapy, cooking, and yoga.
