Bonsucro Credit Trading Platform

Introducing Bonsucro Credits
Bonsucro’s Credit Trading Platform is a revolutionary tool that connects buyers and producers, accelerating transformation of the sugarcane sector through sustainable trade.

Its automatic price-matching mechanism allows a global network of businesses to buy and sell Bonsucro Credits – which are proof that a unit of sugarcane, raw sugar, ethanol or molasses has been sustainably produced according to Bonsucro’s Production Standard.

Credits reward Bonsucro-certified mills and farms for their commitment to sustainability, and a portion of fees from Bonsucro Credit sales are invested directly in local impact initiatives for other farms and mills to adopt more sustainable practices. Bonsucro Credits help buyers to achieve their sustainable procurement targets.

A portion of the transaction fee on Credit Trades is invested into the Bonsucro Impact Fund, which supports projects that address critical sustainability challenges in the sugarcane sector. Click the link below to find out more.

On-Market and Off-Market Trading

The Credit Trading Platform provides two ways to trade credits - On- and Off-Market.

  • On-Market Trades are carried out through the platform. Bids to sell and offers to buy are matched automatically based on price. Sellers cannot select who they sell to, nor can buyers choose to buy from a certain seller - the auction is blind. 
    • This is ideal for companies who do not have a preference for who they trade with.
  • Off-Market Trades are negotiated between buyers and sellers outside of the platform. Once a deal has been made, the buyers and sellers of the Credits must then use the Credit Trading Platform to register and confirm the deal. 
    • Trading off-market allows buyers to negotiate with existing suppliers or to emulate physical supply chains.
Credit Conversion Tool
If you have bought products made from sugarcane, you can use this conversion tool to calculate the equivalent amount of Bonsucro credits. We also provide you with an estimation of how many hectares of land was managed under the Bonsucro Production Standard so you can see how much land your purchases impact.
