Supporting the shea butter industry: our commitment in West Africa

At Groupe Emile, our commitment to fair trade goes beyond words. We are proud to support the shea industry in West Africa, and to work in partnership with women collectors in Burkina Faso. Find out how our commitment to fair trade is taking shape in the shea industry and what it means for local communities.

The Magic of Shea

A natural treasure: Shea is a precious source of skin and hair care benefits, and remains mainly in the hands of Burkinabé women. We believe in the importance of guaranteeing the sustainable use of this resource and supporting an economic model that enables women producers to generate a decent income.

A Transformative Impact

Empowering collectors: Our partnership has a transformative impact. It involves almost 21,205 women collectors in Burkina Faso, and is based on three essential pillars: the economic aspect, which secures the shea market; the socio-community and cultural aspect, which generates numerous activities for the communities; and the environmental aspect, which promotes the sustainability of the shea industry.

Fair Trade at the Heart of Our Vision

Beyond the company: Our commitment to fair trade permeates all our brands, from organic food to natural cosmetics and B2B solutions. We believe in the responsible use of natural resources and in an economic model that enables women shea producers to make a decent living from their work.
