Finance Manager

Business Information

Our team sources natural rubber from over 20,000 smallholder farmers in Cte d'Ivoire. We then process the coagulated cup lump rubber into Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) and export to destinations in Europe, Americas, and Asia. Our factory at Aniassue has one of the most modern setups around the world. It employs over 500 people and has a rated capacity of 88,000 MT of TSR annually and is also ISO 9001 certified.

We're committed to sustainable and responsible natural rubber, which includes not sourcing from deforested or high conservation value (HCV) areas degraded after April 1, 2019. We're a member of the Global Platform on Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) and our sustainable rubber strategy aligns to the GPSNR policy framework. Our strategy builds on three pillars; livelihoods of our farmers, wellbeing of rural communities, and protection of natural forests, biodiversity and wildlife in sourcing areas. To achieve 100% responsibly sourced rubber, as defined by the GPSNR policy framework, we are developing targets and metrics to measure and report on our progress. We'll regularly engage with our suppliers on environmental and social topics to promote the GPSNR framework and improve compliance with the framework requirements.
