The Carapelli and Barbagli families continue to invest in Nuova Terra, a historic brand and one of the most important players in the soup, cereals, legumes and seeds sector.

The innovation of Nuova Terra is seen through the restyling of the packaging: a new contemporary, distinctive graphic image capable of telling the different stories of the brand and giving strong visibility to the new logo that is both modern and traditional but strongly linked to the earth and its elements and which speaks to the evolution of the brand towards ever increasing solutions that fits the needs of the consumer.Today Nuova Terra is close to the consumer but also to the planet and to the theme of sustainability: the new packaging is 100% eco-sustainable with a totally recyclable paper wrapping.

RED GOLD

For four generations, the Red Gold family has been working with local farm families to grow the highest-quality best tasting tomatoes in the world. Starting as a father and daughter simply trying to help their country – it’s now become a full time operation with over 50 partnerships with Midwestern growers. The Red Gold family story begins in March of 1942 when the government asked citizens to step up and help the war effort by supplying food for our troops. When Grover C. Hutcherson heard this message, he and his daughter Fran purchased and rebuilt an old abandoned cannery building in central Indiana. The cannery had been destroyed on three separate occasions by fires and a tornado but they managed to rally the community and persevere.

At Red Gold we believe developing a successful Private Brand business requires more than applying your logo to a label. We know consumers re-purchase a Private Brand when they are confident they’ll consistently receive a high-quality, national brand equivalent product. Our Private Brands Division is focused solely on Your Brand. We provide the quality and variety that your customers demand.

Registered in more than 70 countries around the world, it is currently the vegetarian and vegan brand name most recognized by consumers internationally.

Having become synonymous with transparency and assurance, it is presently the brand most used to identify products and services suitable for the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. Whether applied to food, beverages, cosmetics, textiles and accessories, footwear, catering or publishing, the brand is a recognized name, valued both by manufacturers and by consumers in today’s international marketplace.

Despite its widespread use, the V-Label brand has maintained high-quality standards due to its clear and transparent criteria being applied internationally by major vegetarian and vegan associations, who ensure that the standards are met.

Italian Suppliers Lead the Way in Sustainable Initiatives

Asolo Dolce

Asolo Dolce has always believed that great products come from great sources, and clean energy is one of them. They have combined tradition with innovation by investing in a Photovolaic System in both the production plants, 350KW per Asolo (Tv) and 100KW per Rignano sull’Arno (Fi).

This investment has greatly reduced the impact of the company on the environment, and is going to be expanded in their future plans.

In order to attain their vision of making traditional Italian products in a high tech facility that respects the environment, they plan to reduce the consumption of non-renewable sources to a minimum.

In 2016 Asolo Dolce obtained the CONAI award for the packaging used in the production of its delicious biscuits. The contest rewarded the companies with the following average features: 19% savings of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, a reduction in energy consuption of 18%, and in water savings of 22% compared to the market.

These and other real actions are taken to assure a better future for our children and theirs.

La Doria S.p.A.

La Doria core values that are the driving force behind the company include considerations such as legality, ethics, openness, honesty, workers’ rights, respect for the environment, and the improvement of land.

The Company believes in responsible management of the supply chain, so follows strict rules that are consistent with its commitment towards productive sustainability and corporate responsibility.

La Doria works with a strong commitment to reducing the impact of business on the environment and to managing energy resources sustainably; to optimizing production processes to reduce waste and inefficiency; to working alongside farmers’ organizations to promote tools and solutions that ensure that farming is done efficiently and sustainably; to maintaining high levels of food quality and safety; and to improving the health and safety performances of workers. It strives to increase the use of sustainable packaging, to improve the development of human resources and to promote the circular economy.

To discover more about La Doria’s commitment to sustainability find its Sustainability Report at www.gruppoladoria.it/EN/csr/sustainability-report.

Lucart S.p.A.

The sustainable innovation is born from the collaboration between Lucart and Tetra Pak. The consistent and innovative path taken by Lucart has made the company a point of reference for eco-tissue. In 1998, it was the first company to launch a recycled paper brand, which has evolved into the Grazie Natural range, a symbol of the circular economy. Paper obtained by recycling cellulose fibres contained in drink cartons. Lucart’s production process separates vegetable fibres from polyethylene and aluminium, which the company ships for re-use in manufacturing of products such as pallets, stationery, and even mooring poles used by gondoliers in Venice.

Grazie Natural has EU Ecolabel and FSC Recycled certifications; it is sustainable not only for being tissue from recycled paper, but also for the use of paper packaging, as it drives forward research on recycled plastic packaging that will soon be available in the market.

V-LABEL

The V-Label brand helps companies to identify their products as suitable for vegetarians and vegans in order to meet the growing demand of consumers who, in turn, welcome the comfort, assurance, guarantee and assistance provided when selecting sustainable products suitable for their needs. The task of the V-Label brand is to help companies to achieve visibility for their vegetarian and vegan products, increase the amount of these on the market and ensure quality standards for end consumers.

Eating in a more sustainable and responsible way is feasible, possible and necessary. Eliminating or reducing meat, fish and animal-derived products is not impossible.

The hands of the Doomsday Clock are dangerously approaching midnight, with only 100 seconds left until humanity’s self-destructive end. This instrument takes into consideration various factors, such as threats of war along with relative nuclearisation and climate change, which contribute to reducing our chances of survival.

Temperatures are rising, ice caps are melting causing a rise in sea levels, the planet is on fire from Siberia to Australia, and from the Amazon to the Canaries, and increasingly violent and unpredictable climatic phenomena are punctuating long periods of drought.

What if all this could be stopped or, stemmed, by what we put on our plates?

Producing one kilo of meat requires the use of 15,000 liters of water compared to just 3,000 for a kilo of wheat; a hectare of land intended for cattle breeding can feed 22 people instead of just one if it is used to grow potatoes, and about 14 % of all greenhouse gas emissions from humans result from intensive farming.

Being vegan or vegetarian doesn’t necessarily mean being sustainable, but vegan and vegetarian lifestyles certainly are. Reducing our consumption of meat and animal-derived products would help us to gain precious seconds and move the hands of the clock back. Change is needed: if not now, when?

Respect life. Inspire the change. This is the mission of V-Label Italia, because it is necessary to create awareness to create change, now more than ever.
