Rooted in agricultural tradition, shaped by an Italian story

Cooperation that creates value

Orogel is built on the values of its agricultural and cooperative heritage, which continue to guide every stage of our supply chain. A strong work ethic, responsibility, transparency, care for people and deep ties with local communities have always shaped our relationships with farmer-members, employees, partners and the communities around us. On these foundations, Orogel has developed a model that brings tradition and innovation together, contributing to economic and social development while supporting the evolution of farming practices.

Our environmental approach

A supply chain that uses resources responsibly.

Self-generated energy

19%

Reused water

80%

Recycled cardboard

99,2%

Waste sent for recovery

We monitor consumption and emissions associated with our production processes and work to improve energy efficiency and self-generation. In 2025, self-generated electricity covered 41.7% of our total energy needs, mainly through cogeneration and, to a lesser extent, photovoltaic systems.

Water is a fundamental resource for our activities, used mainly for washing, blanching and cooling vegetables. We monitor water consumption and invest in solutions for the treatment and reuse of process water. In 2025, we recovered and reused 19% of the total.

We work across raw materials, packaging and waste management, seeking solutions that improve our processes and support material recovery. In 2025, 100% of our cardboard suppliers were FSC-certified and approximately 80% of the cardboard we used was recycled.

Waste management is part of our ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management System and is based on waste separation, traceability and material recovery. In 2025, 99.2% of our waste was sent for recovery, including organic waste used to produce biogas and biomethane.
