 The first company to achieve the
Rainforest Alliance Certification for the
new standard 2020 in Vietnam
By the end of 2021, DK is the first company in
Vietnam to obtain the Rainforest Alliance
Certification for Black Pepper according to the
new standard 2020 for 461 farmers with a total
area of 932 hectares. The certified volume for the
crop 2021-2022 is 1,423,400 kg, crop 2022-2023
is 1,612,000 kgs. With this success, DK not only
helps Vietnamese farmers have a better quality
life but also enables our organization to source
sustainable and high-quality ingredients, including
pesticides, allergies, and other risks free. All risks
are controlled directly at the source.
Furthermore, we were able to track each farmer
100% based on a tight control network. This
ensures quality supply chain management.

27
 Residual Pesticides – Food safety
controlled from farm to customer
Also, the use of pesticides is one of DK's most concerns when
implementing the program. In addition to training members on plant
protection drugs and labor safety, we also conduct analysis of residual
pesticides when receiving raw materials at the factory. From the
analysis data, we examine and review the pesticide practice in the
smallholder farmers and then recommend appropriate improvement
actions.

29
 Ongoing training courses

When collaborating with farmers to implement the program, DK worked

very hard with consultants as well as experts in the field of pepper
cultivation to provide training courses and technical advice for program
participants. Ongoing training courses in cultivating techniques are
provided to members. When there are problems with farming techniques,
the staff as well as the team of consultants and technical experts always
warn and advise farmers on timely preventive measures.
30
 Happy life of farmers

Benefits of the program that connects farmer households and us together:

• Increase income for farmers by encouraging farmers to intercrop pepper with
other crops: ginger, turmeric, coffee, durian, etc leading to a better life of
farmers.
• Have chance to learn how to take care of trees
• Know how to use pesticides, plant protection properly
• Knowledge about protecting their own health
• Know how to protect the product

Gender Equality
33
 Gender Equality
At DK, women and men have equal rights and
opportunities. A commitment from management to work
towards and support equality for all farmers/workers and
employees, regardless of their gender is public to each
members. No Gender Based Discrimination.

Women’s Empowerment
We give the opportunity to women to help them gradually gain power
and control over their lives and make choices without being constrained
by expectations placed on them. As women often lag behind men in
terms of opportunities and rights, promoting women’s empowerment is
an essential step towards gender equality. It is important to remember
that gender equality can only be achieved by involving both women and
men. Women Empowerment is a Social Cause.
34
Extracurricular Activities

35
We also conduct our community extracurricular activities for
children on environmental and wildlife protection and give
support/ knowledge on endangerment of wildlife.

 Green Energy

Aware of the recent environment conditions, DK decided to

use alternate energy at DK’s factories to help prevent
global warming, acid rain or smog as well as help reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We have shifted into
solar power.
60% of alternate energy created has been used for all
activities in factories and the balance 40% is for resale to
power grids. 38
 Minimal maintenance required

With a useful lifespan of 20-25 years, we are participating

in a small way to the future generation of mankind.
39
 Green until the end of life

Alternate Power is the way of the future for

reducing environmental impacts.
