ESG
At LEAF, sustainability is not just a mission; it is the essence that permeates all our actions.
We understand that we cannot deliver the value proposition of our polyol without these values being present throughout our chain.
Our vegetable oil, the main raw material for LEAF polyols, comes from plantations of small Brazilian farmers, valuing this culture and boosting the local economy. We continually invest in sustainable agricultural practices and farmer support programs, ensuring that our positive impact extends beyond our company.
Our research and development team is dedicated to creating products with revolutionary environmental characteristics and harmless to people. We use cutting-edge technology to ensure that our polyols not only meet but exceed sustainability and efficiency standards.

Negative Carbon Footprint
Negative Carbon Footprint
Our product captures more carbon than it emits during its life cycle.
Our product captures more carbon than it emits during its life cycle.
With a methodological approach that tracks the Carbon Footprint from the beginning of raw material acquisition to the final product. The Carbon Footprint Study of LEAF polyol examined each stage of the production process, from raw material cultivation to product delivery. (All our products have a Negative Carbon Footprint)
In a scenario comparison, we have the following results:
Poliol LEAF
-0.73 kg CO2 eq/kg negative carbon polyol*
Poliol fóssil
+3.93 kg CO2 eq/kg positive carbon polyol **
*Value obtained in a Life Cycle Assessment, in a cradle-to-gate analysis.
**Source: ecoinvent version 3.9.
Our study received an audit statement from SGS, the world leader in inspection, verification, and testing, regarding the Carbon Footprint study of polyol formulations produced by LEAF Polyol. This certification validates our approach and drives us to continue leading in the search for sustainable solutions.
