The commitment to the environment of Caseificio Longo
From green packs to respect for the supply chain, together with local farmers.
The intense white of the mountains, the green of the fields and the blue of the lakes, often covered by a veil of ice: the Canavese and Piedmont regions are even more evocative than usual, in these distinctly winter days.
The beauty of nature makes, if possible, even more motivated the commitment of Caseificio Longo to the environment, a commitment carried out every day with a series of actions.
The most recent is the choice of new green packs with which the Piedmontese company is distributing the famous Tomino del Boscaiolo line. Why green? Because the materials with which the new packaging were made - in addition to ensuring freshness and perfect preservation of the product - are eco-friendly, thanks to the easily separable components, plastic and cardboard. In this way there is no waste, the pack is recyclable and thus helps to reduce plastic consumption by 50%.
If that of the packs is new, there are other initiatives that Caseificio Longo has been carrying out for years and that combine the constant search for excellence with attention to the territory, and consequently to the environment.
Respect for the supply chain is one of the most important values for the Longo family, which is supplied daily only and exclusively by local farmers: over 70, in fact, are those who collect 1,500 quintals of milk per day for the Piedmontese company every day.
Choosing zero km suppliers has two fundamental advantages.
First of all, it allows Caseificio Longo to export the dairy excellence of Piedmont throughout Italy, keeping faith with the company mission starting from a raw material of the highest quality. Then there is the attention to the environment: by choosing zero km suppliers, in fact, pollution and waste in general are significantly reduced, reducing the use of fuel (and therefore CO2 emissions into the atmosphere) and additional packaging.
Without forgetting the BRC and IFS certifications which, certifying compliance with a series of internationally recognized standards, guarantee a highly efficient production system and, consequently, a further reduction in waste.
However, the commitment to the environment of Caseificio Longo does not stop with these measures. Hand in hand with attention to loyal consumers and the quality of all time, the optimization of manufacturing processes for sustainability will continue to be a central value.
