HOW WE WORK SUSTAINABLY
HOW WE WORK SUSTAINABLY
A great deal of attention was devoted to insulation, to the opening and closing of the cells, as well as the process organization.
Thanks to these interventions, despite the increasing production over the years, since 2005 we have managed to constantly reduce the quality of energy required for each ton of packaged product.

Thanks to these interventions, despite the increasing production over the years, since 2005 we have managed to constantly reduce the quality of energy required for each ton of packaged product.
We have a continuous and significant need for cold temperatures. Cogeneration (production of electrical and thermal energy starting from one fuel – usually natural gas-) proves to be extremely beneficial from an economic and environmental point of view, since it allows to maximize the efficiency of the fuel.
Our photovoltaic plants are installed in Cesena 280 kW) and Ficarolo (180 kW); they contribute to partially fulfilling our need for electrical energy.
Our constant commitment to increasing production efficiency has allowed us to reduce both the consumption of electrical energy and thermal energy.
These results, together with our research to convert energy in a more and more efficient way, have led to a significant reduction in emissions. Over 10 years they have been reduced by around 20%.
If, in 2019, we had produced with the same plants and efficiency of 2009, we would have emitted 13,000 tons more.
Before being deep-frozen, vegetables undergo a blanching treatment with hot water; then their temperature gets very quickly reduced by using water at almost 0°C. This process allows the product to keep its nutritional properties unaltered but also requires a high quantity of water, just like washing the vegetables.
We reduce water consumption by re-using it as many times as possible; our plants are equipped with a water recovery system with ultrafiltration.
Over the last years we have recovered around 300,000 m3 every year, 30% of the total amount of water we have used.

Something that really distinguishes us is our spirit of innovation, above all with
regard to sustainability. This is why we carried out several projects aimed
at reducing our environmental impact both on the agricultural
field and on production.
Development of farming and mechanization techniques to start an industrial asparagus supply chain in the Emilia-Romagna region.
Definition of a farming protocol for
nettle, in order to support the development of a
new production segment.
Modernization of production techniques in order to make agriculture more sustainable.
Definition of
"Zero Residues" production strategies.
Investigation on the use of microbiomes in order to obtain top-quality food products.
National and international research activities.

The quality of our products stems from the work we do in our land every day, and from the respect we have for the entire supply chain.
