NEWPORT NEWS, VA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- During the year, Certified Origins cemented its position as a trusted partner for trade and food experts worldwide through its commitment to responsible sourcing, quality, cultural preservation, and transparency.

Pioneering Environmental Responsibility

In Spain, Certified Origins strengthened its partnership with GEPEC-EdC, one of Catalonia's most respected environmental NGOs, to support the Monumental Olive Groves Reserve project in Terres de l'Ebre. This initiative aims to preserve the ecological and cultural significance of one of the world's premier extra virgin olive oil regions while enhancing biodiversity and promoting environmental education.

Certified Origins teams achieved the prestigious Green Kit accreditation from Enel Energia at its Italian bottling plant, solidifying its commitment to 100% renewable electricity for its Italian operations by 2025.

In partnership with ClimatePartner, restoration efforts at "Campo dei Fiori" Regional Park in northern Italy addressed climate-impacted areas while integrating comprehensive carbon calculation, reduction, and offset strategies for its flagship brand, Bellucci EVOO.

Elevating Transparency and Education

Certified Origins has partnered with Global Retail Brands magazine to release a special edition, "Exploring the Origins of Food," during New York Climate Week. This publication examines building transparent food systems, featuring insights from Ivy League academics, sustainability experts, and industry innovators on improving traceability from field to table.

The project Al Nocciolo podcast series, hosted by Paolo Vizzari and produced by Certified Origins with Chora Media, enhanced consumer education through four episodes that delve into international olive varieties, production processes, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil label literacy.
