For us, being sustainable means building every day a balance between innovation and tradition, between economic results and respect for the territory, between business development and people’s well-being.
A concrete path that runs through every area of our activity:
In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we are committed through a series of concrete and targeted actions.
Our first Sustainability Report represents a fundamental step in this journey: a tool for transparency and dialogue that tells our way of doing business, aimed at generating economic, environmental and social value.
FSA – The Reference Standard for Sustainable Agriculture
The Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA), developed by SAI Platform, is an international tool designed to clearly and verifiably assess sustainable agricultural practices. This standard enables the entire food and beverage supply chain to operate according to shared criteria, promoting responsible production focused on protecting natural resources.
We calculate emissions according to the GHG Protocol.
We have already launched a progressive decarbonization plan that includes:
Every technological innovation is designed to combine efficiency and environmental protection, strengthening the resilience of our production model in the face of global climate change.
Renewable energy and emissions reduction (goal 7)
With the installation of 1,596 photovoltaic panels, the company actively contributes to the energy transition, achieving a reduction of approximately 250 tons of CO₂ emissions per year.
Responsible water consumption management (goal 12)
Constant monitoring of consumption, both quantitative and qualitative, makes it possible to identify optimization opportunities in washing, production and cooling processes.
We recover and enhance citrus by-products by transforming them into new ingredients for the nutraceutical, cosmetic and food sectors, in collaboration with ENEA and Navhetec. We actively contribute to a low-impact circular economy model:
Sustainable packaging and responsible logistics (goals 12 and 13)
Agrumaria Corleone’s sustainable packaging strategies follow the principles of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” cycle. Implemented actions include reducing secondary plastic, reusing secondary containers, adopting recyclable and compostable materials, and compliance with major quality and safety standards (ISO 14001:2015, BRC, ISO 9001:2015). The objective is to reduce environmental impact across the entire logistics chain.
Agrumaria Corleone promotes equal opportunities, continuous training and organizational well-being, with particular attention to female representation in leadership roles (currently 4 women out of 7 on the Board of Directors).
With the creation of Citrus Academy, our new training structure, we invest in knowledge transfer and the development of young talents, strengthening a corporate culture based on safety, inclusion and active participation..
A Code of Ethics shared with all collaborators and a structured whistleblowing system ensure proper conduct, respect for human rights and compliance with international regulations.
Agrumaria Corleone also adheres to leading ethical and supply chain assessment platforms such as SEDEX and EcoVadis, strengthening its commitment each year toward fair and sustainable business conduct.
The information contained in the report derives from verified company sources and internal monitoring systems, integrated with industry benchmarks. Emissions were calculated according to the GHG Protocol, using the most up-to-date international emission factors.
This first voluntary reporting exercise marks the beginning of a path of growth and continuous improvement. Over time, we intend to expand our reporting and introduce independent verification, in line with new European sustainability directives (CSRD).
