To plant 1 million olive trees: a new green lung for our country.
OUR COMMITMENT
We aim to plant 1 million olive trees and ensure 100% of our olive groves are farmed in an organic or integrated system. This is how we will create a new green lung for our Planet and ensure the sustainability of our olive farms, by prioritising innovative and lower environmental impact farming techniques.
Our region of origin, Umbria, is home to the Frantoio del Poggiolo olive pressing facility, as well as our olive groves in the land of Sismano, home to 316 thousand olive trees, which will increase to 432 thousand by 2022. We also have land in Carpino, Puglia, and Perolla, in Tuscany, a new acquisition where around 347,000 olive trees are expected to be planted in 245 hectares by 2023, surrounded by 683 hectares of coppice. To date all Bosco Monini land, a total of 290 hectares planted with 337 olive trees, is 100% organically farmed.
All this will enable us to fight land desertification and contribute to carbon dioxide absorption, sequestering over 50,000 tons from the atmosphere, the equivalent of 3,000 tons per year.

CO2 compensated 100%
With Bosco Monini our aim is to plant trees that will contribute towards sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere in the future. With the CO2 offsetting project, we commit ourselves to offsetting emissions generated during the life cycle of both of our best selling products: Classico and Delicato. Thanks to the EPD, the environmental product declaration, it is possible to accurately calculate the amount of emitted CO2 and offset it with the acquisition of verified carbon credits.
