The quality of Gorgonzola Igor lies not only in its delicious taste, but also
in the company’s constant commitment to making its production
process sustainable along the entire supply chain.
Our operative method pursues the ideal of being a reality
with a positive impact, developed through different actions which involved
the three areas of the supply chain, summarised in the acronym 3P:
Product, Production and Packaging.
IGOR Gorgonzola is produced only with milk coming from farms certified Animal Welfare on the Farm according to the standards set by ClassyFarm.
Watch the videoIGOR has sensitised its milk transporters to use new methane-powered means of transport, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions into the environment.
Watch the videoIn one year, IGOR has made its energy performance 48% more efficient by introducing the TOE/T measurement system, which represents the equivalent tonnes of oil in relation to the tonnes of Gorgonzola produced.
Watch the videoIGOR has obtained the certification Zero Emission Company, which states the achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Watch the videoExcess whey resulting from milk processing is concentrated through an osmosis plant with low energy absorption. Demineralised water obtained from this process is reused within the production cycle.
Watch the videoIn order to concretely reduce the polluting impact of the energy system and protect the planet’s environmental resources, IGOR uses only energy from 100% renewable sources.
Watch the video IGOR is equipped with 2 cogeneration plants with GREEN ENERGY features. These plants allow not only to significantly reduce emissions into the environment, but also to minimise energy waste.
Each year, thanks to the use of resealable foils and the elimination of plastic lids, Igor Gorgonzola is reducing the use of plastic by 30% on almost 12 million 200 g-packs of Gorgonzola.
IGOR has launched onto the market the new 100% recyclable ECOPACKs to ensure sustainable quality throughout the entire production chain.
IGOR Gorgonzola launched a project called BEE-FRIENDLY in February 2020, reconfirming the attention to environmental sustainability. This project consists in the placement of beehives at the production plant of Cameri.
IGOR Gorgonzola has also obtained the ISO 50001 Certification. This voluntary international standard was issued in 2011 by the International Organization for Standardization and it is the new international standard for energy management.
