Territory, environment and future generations: Casalasco cannot ignore its strong connection with the territories where the members' agricultural companies are based, from which the supply chain originates.

The composition of the Casalasco Supply chain, with the farms members of the Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro playing the dual role of owner members and suppliers of the raw material, allows for a high level of integration between agricultural and processing phases, unique in the agroindustrial and not found in other industrialsupply chains.
The close relationship between farmers and processors, ensured by the synergy between the Management of Consorzio Casalasco and those of Società Agricola Casalasco S.p.A., and Emiliana Conserve S.p.A., guarantees the coordination of strategic and operational choices along the entire file already starting with varietal choices, quantities, cultivation methods, berry quality parameters, and so on, guaranteeing with continuity the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Customer contracts and specifications.

In 2023, the global volume related to the idustrial processing of fresh tomatoes was 43,572 milliontons, with a variation of +13.3% compared to the final result of 2022.
World production is mainly located in three macro areas in the northern hemisphere depending on climatic conditions, water availability and agricultural know-how.

The term "Personnel" used by the Casalasco Group refers not only to the company's employees but to all individuals who, regardless of their contractual type, operate on its behalf.
 This broader interpretation of the term reflects the commitment of all the Group's companies to ensure equal rights and protections not only for its direct employees but also for all orkers involved in outsourced processes or employed under flexible contracts. The Group recognizes the right of all its workers to be treated with fairness and equity.
