This initiative was born in 2018, when we began to develop a project that would allow us to capture greenhouse gases through reforestation, recuperate pristine water sources and protect the endemic flora and fauna of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas (Ecuador), right where our processing plant is located. This region is known for its rich culture and beautiful cloud forest, but has unfortunately been subject to mass deforestation.
Our wildlife corridor has its own learning center, where the local community is educated on preserving the environment.

It is our priority to maintain a safe, diverse and inclusive work environment. A considerable part of our team is from the local community in Santo Domingo.

Our Care Enough program was set up by The Exotic Blends Co. It directly backs health and education programs in rural Ecuadorian communities. One of our most important initiatives in the program is supporting Hogar Valle Feliz (Happy Valley Orphanage) in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. Valle Feliz is a home and school for underprivileged youth, currently housing 60 children.
