Sovena achieves “zero-waste” agricultural production

João Basto, Sustainability Director at Sovena Group, shared the company’s sustainability objectives to be achieved by 2023, as well as the measures in place to ensure that all agricultural by-products are fully reused.

From the olive groves to the mills, and through packaging and distribution, Sovena oversees every stage of the olive oil value chain. As a result, sustainability is a core priority for the Group, which has already reached a zero-waste agricultural production model.

In an interview with ECO/Capital Verde, João Basto highlighted key targets within Sovena’s sustainability strategy and explained how agricultural intensification can support more environmentally responsible practices.
