CERTIFIED QUALITY
A simple philosophy underlies our environmental policy. Take nothing away from nature and the local area, which are two indispensable raw material quality elements.
This belief has made us one of the first large scale businesses in Italy to obtain Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®) certification, an investment designed to keep alive the values which have made our oil making tradition great and which we now safeguard for future generations.
We have taken several important steps to safeguard the environment, ranging from installing a photovoltaic system at the plant, buying energy from certified renewable energy sources and introducing recycled glass packaging.
Today we are a cutting-edge company in terms of buildings, technology and quality testing, capable of renewing traditions by means of a responsible management model in environmental, social and ethical terms.
Set up in Sweden but now worldwide, the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) regulated by ISO 14040:06 international standards is issued by the Swedish Environmental Management Council which manages the International EPD® System.
Most of our best extra virgin olive oils – GranFruttato, Classico, Poggiolo, Delicato, BIOS and D.O.P Umbria – have obtained this certification after passing the environmental performance testing across their life cycles (Life Cycle Assessment, LCA).
To calculate the environmental impact the system analyses all aspects of production including: fertilisers used in olive growing, water extraction methods, the volume of water used for irrigation, material used in the olive harvest, along with packaging and product transport.
The certification documents obtained by our oils can be consulted and downloaded from the EPD website.
