Sustainable development is at the core of our business and our future plans work around this concept. Even since antiquity people attempted to define the concept of sustainability. Greek philosophers have approached it through the notion of “eudaimonia”. Taking this concept into account as well, sustainable development is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brutland definition). Sustainability implies the synchronous development of the social, economic and environmental sectors, as these sectors are interconnected.
We – as an innovative olive processing and manufacturing business – buy all our raw materials only by the very best growers in Greece and handle all our products with care, to retain and enhance their exquisite quality and flavour. In addition to that we also care about our own environment.
In short
we minimise and manage waste, use low energy lighting, biodegradable hand soap, 100% recycled paper products, locally produced products, natural lighting and ventilation whenever possible. These are just a few of our measures that add up to achieving a positive impact on the environment and the community in general.
Our
vision
- Build supply chain partnerships for sustainability with our collaborators, both producers and customers.
- Enhance operational efficiency while minimising environmental impact.
- Recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs and systems upgrades.
- More sustainable water use.
- Development of a detailed sustainability roadmap with ambitious goals for 2022.
