Sustainability

Inspired By Our Values, We Promote Sustainability

At Citrusvil we prioritize sustainability in all our production processes; this is a commitment that has led us to develop a Sustainably Integrated Production System.

Citrusvil has the world’s first Lemon Effluent Treatment Plant, which is capable of generating Biogas and produce Electrical Energy from renewable sources.

GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES

Sustainable Practices for the Benefit of Future Generations

We follow this approach in all our facilities, taking advantage of local and international knowledge to develop sustainable agricultural production practices which result in safe and healthy food products.

Our GAP-approach leads to the improvement of the practices in our orchards, especially as regards:

  • Food Safety
  • Workers’ Welfare
  • Sustainable Management of the Environment
    • ACTIONS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

    Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

    Tackling climate change presents serious challenges, but it also offers huge opportunities. This is why we face the challenge at all the different stages of our production chain, through the following measures:

    • No Deforestation and preservation of Native Forests
    • Biogas generation in Closed Biodigesters
    • Substitution of natural gas consumption with Biogas
    • Generation of Electrical Energy from Biogas
    WASTE MANAGEMENT

    Taking Actions Towards a World Wthout Waste

    We have developed a program through which we seek to considerably reduce the generation of waste from the production processes, carrying out Waste Management Practices such as:

    • Waste Segregation Devices
    • Training on the Appropriate Classification of Waste
    • Special Treatment of Hazardous Waste
    • Specific Treatment of Organic Waste through Composting
    BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION

    Citrusvil in cooperation with Fundación ProYungas in the Protected Productive Landscape Program

    Protected Productive Landscapes (PPPs) aim at striking a balance between production and nature conservation.
