Sustainability
We are one of the nation’s leaders in environmental sustainability
For some years now, SP has been on a continuous “update & upgrade” sustainability pathway.
Integrated supply chains
between farmers and consumers
100% product "reused"
nothing is “wasted” but everything is sold, reused and improved
Solar panels

Packaging
new, more environmentally sustainable ideas
Rice processing is 100% sustainable, i.e. there is no waste and everything is reused in the food, livestock, energy and construction industries.
Action plan
We seek and aim to be sustainable across all the various production stages: cultivation, processing, packaging and distribution.
Cultivation
- Cultivation techniques
- Integrated supply chains
- Co-sharing R&D approach for new seeds
Processing
- Monitoring of emissions
- Self-generated energy
Packaging

- Attentive regarding environmental ethics
- Waste reduction
Distribution to the customer
- Partnerships with customers
- Good communication of the work carried out and actions taken
A new rice culture
With the new SP Riseria Italian production lines, and in conjunction with local partners (industrial players and master craftsmen, artisans in their field) a new pathway to sustainability was launched to support the cultivation and culture of local rice, but not solely agricultural rice. A new approach to rice cultivation that is no longer focusing solely on the commercial proposition of rice as a simple cooking commodity, but rather on rice as something which, thanks to its organoleptic properties, is also the ideal base for vinegar, beer, and spirits, not forgetting rice oil, rich in Omega 3.
