fertilizer (bagged, bulk, and liquid). The company also offers consulting services and works with customers to improve their operations. The company works hard to im-


C


prove its own environmental stew- ardship along with that of its cus- tomers. In the past year Cerealista earned premium plus certification according to Camara de Sanidad Agropecuaria y Fertilzantes (CASA- FE) protocol, a continuous improve- ment program applied to safety certification of deposits of plant protection products. In fact, everything about the com-


pany, including the way its structures were designed, are a testament to the focus on safety. The walls of the facility were built with reinforced concrete to help limit fire damage. The build- ing itself sits far away from any public facilities including residential housing, schools, shop- ping centers, and other populated areas. Cerealista has all the


proper safety equip- ment — fire extinguishers, emergency shower, per- sonal protective equipment, safety goggles, first aid kits, and gloves, etc. —

but none of that is very effective if employees don’t know how to use it properly. The company makes sure that workers are trained and that training is updated regularly. Regular training is key to a safe


working environment. The vast major- ity of accidents in any business are caused by human error. Cerealista Moldes does everything it can to make sure employees are properly trained on how to move and store these crop protection products. Cerealista also works with DuPont


to ensure that the products it does sell are as safe as possible for employees and growers. Special attention is paid to ensure that the products distributed are properly labeled formu- lations that are packaged to reduce risks to users and minimizes adverse effects on the environment. Some of the company’s


Environmental respect begins at home. Cerealista Moldes’ facility was diesigned with safety and security in mind. Com- pany management makes use of everything from walls with reinforced concrete to ensuring that all the proper personal protective and safety equipment are in place and up-to-date.


most effective sustainable environmental approaches are the simplest. Whether it’s keeping track of the products sold to customers, educating them about the proper use of those products, tracking application, or working to make sure the right product is used at the right time, Ce- realista Moldes’ focus is on helping customers and the environment. — Dan Jacobs
