Environmental Programs

Rainforest Alliance Program

At Durak Hazelnut, we implement Rainforest Alliance standards for a production model that protects nature, sustains water and soil resources, and supports biodiversity.

The program's key components are:

  • Sustainable agricultural practices
  • Occupational health and safety
  • Soil health and biodiversity conservation
  • Efficient use of water resources
  • Environmentally friendly methods in pest management
  • Effective farm improvement plans


The Rainforest Alliance verification process allows us to measure our environmental performance, set targets, and involve all our producers in continuous improvement.
