Shea butter is vital in generating income for rural women in Togo. Recognizing the increasing global demand for this prized, nutrient-rich butter, one shea butter company ensures that communities can continue to benefit from shea for years to come. Central to their operation is a concerted effort to replant shea trees in Togo’s parklands.
The company, known as Label d’Or, has taken proactive measures to train rural cooperatives on organic and ecological principles, aiming to safeguard Togo’s invaluable resources. By purchasing shea kernels from these cooperatives, Label d’Or supports local communities and contributes to the preservation of the environment. The company then processes these kernels into shea butter in their climate-smart factory, where every step of the process considers the environment.
The resulting shea butter, produced with a focus on sustainability, is subsequently exported to American and European markets. Label d’Or’s commitment to ecological practices ensures that the final product meets the demands of environmentally-conscious consumers, setting a precedent for a more sustainable and prosperous shea butter industry in Togo.
