Our Green Values

The choice of organic cultivation and to operate exclusively in this sector derives from our deep, historical link with the land. Sustainable farming, in fact, makes it possible to produce without altering the natural balance, without plundering or excessively exploiting it. The organic production method is different from the conventional one because it does not operate through aggression: it does not use pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, fungicides or insecticides. It acts as a preventive measure in the defense of the crop using natural methods that favor the production of foodstuffs in a healthy way. Organic farming uses techniques that respect the intrinsic fertility of the soil, it does not impoverish or pollute the soil and, as a result, ensures products that are not only healthier but also tastier.  To convey the uniqueness of the quality, the passion and the values that characterize us, the new brand of our productions was created: biocado 

We have always striven to keep up with the times, regulations and our customers’ needs, this led us to obtain certifications that attest to the quality of our work, together with the responsibilities we have as a company towards the environment, communities that surround us and our collaborators.  Our daily commitment is to maintain eco-sustainable production processes that respect and protect our workers, while keeping an eye on the impact that our practices have on the community we serve. 

GLOBALG.A.P. Mission: We collaborate with supply chain stakeholders to foster the global adoption of safe, socially and environmentally responsible farming practices by providing industry-leading, cost-effective and value-adding assurance and bench marking solutions. 

GLOBALG.A.P. Vision: We envision a world in which farms are recognized for their efforts to continuously produce enough safe food while safeguarding our environment and the welfare of farming communities. 

GLOBALG.A.P. Purpose: Every generation has a right to safe food. To protect this right now and for future generations, the world’s farms must produce safe food in ways that are socially and environmentally responsible and resilient.

Biocado is committed to Workers' Health, Safety, and Welfare.

GRASP has assessed our social practices on the farm, such as specific aspects of workers’ health, safety, and welfare.

We are proud to say Biocado is SMETA Audited. SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is the most widely used social audit in the world.

A social audit is one of the best ways to understand the working conditions at a supplier site. An auditor physically attends the site – or workplace – of a business, enabling the auditor to assess the conditions on the ground.  

Social audits enable businesses to assess their suppliers, monitor health and safety for workers, and signal zero tolerance of human rights abuses such as child and forced labour. Once an audit is complete, buyer and supplier businesses can work together to address any issues, based on a Corrective Action Plan (CAPR).
