Nature is our home.
We ensure environmental protection and recovery of plastics and special landfill; we respect workers' rights and good social practices; we promote natural systems of production, food safety of products and reduction of energy consumption and waste. Walking through the greenhouses and visiting the different areas of the company, you can perceive very well the bond that the Giambò family has been able to build between the production and management of its citrus plants and the surrounding environment, which is best expressed in the care and love for growth in perfect harmony with the rhythms and needs of nature and the ecosystem in which the company is immersed.
