Although agriculture continues to play an irreplaceable role in mitigation, agricultural products, through their entire life cycle, can cause an impact on climate warming. For example, the life cycle analysis of extra virgin olive oils has highlighted that among the most impactful phases of the supply chain are those related to olive cultivation, packaging material production, and finished product distribution. By purchasing Boniviri products, you can be sure that their carbon footprint will be measured and offset, thanks to the commitment of the growers and millers and the emission compensation program carried out by Boniviri.
In 2020, Boniviri conducted a product Carbon Footprint study. Through interviews with stakeholders in a Boniviri production chain, involving one of the partner growers and a mill, it was possible to collect data related to the emission impact of a 750 ml Boniviri bottle. From the fuel used for the tractor to the transport of olives to the mill, every step was carefully tracked.
This study was then reworked and digitized using the Climate Impact Forecast tool. In this way, it was possible to estimate the impact of a bottle at 2.88 kg CO2 eq.
Once the emission impact was estimated, Boniviri offsets the emissions generated through a reforestation project in Italy, making the emission impact of its extra virgin olive oil carbon neutral.
Thanks to these choices, those who purchase Boniviri oil buy a product that is emission neutral: a positive choice for the environment and future generations.
