SALOV S.p.A., Owner of the Filippo Berio and Sagra Brands, Receives the ESG High Honor at the Industria Felix ESG Award – Sustainable Italy in Competition
The Company ranks among the most sustainable enterprises in Italy, all assessed on ESG criteria by Cerved Rating Agency
Massarosa, October 17, 2025 – SALOV S.p.A.—an industrial group and one of the world’s leading players in the olive oil industry—has been honored at the 1st national edition of the Industria Felix ESG Award – Sustainable Italy in Competition, a prestigious recognition given to the Italian companies that excel most in ESG performance.
The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, in the Aula Giulio Cesare at the Capitoline Hill in Rome, during the 66th edition of the Industria Felix event, hosted by Rai News journalist Lorenzo Lo Basso and Rai presenter Elisa Isoardi.
The Recognition
Based on an investigative analysis conducted by Industria Felix Magazine on approximately 970,000 financial statements of operating capital companies headquartered in Italy, and supported by the ESG assessments carried out by Cerved Rating Agency, Salov stands out as a competitive company in environmental, social and governance values.
In particular, the company distinguished itself for:
- the high share of energy consumption from renewable sources,
- ESG screening of suppliers,
- and the implementation of anti-corruption safeguards (MOG 231, Code of Ethics).
Salov and Sustainability
Headquartered in Massarosa (LU), SALOV S.p.A. recorded consolidated net revenues of approximately €561 million in 2024 and sold over 96.7 million liters of oil. The company has long been active in the Italian market with the historic Sagra brand and, since late 2019, with Filippo Berio, a brand with over 150 years of history, present worldwide and a market leader in the USA and UK, as well as in Belgium, Switzerland and Hong Kong.
For Salov, sustainability is both a guiding principle and a strategic lever that permeates every area of the business. Following the completion of its Sustainability Plan in 2022, the company has structured a path based on four strategic pillars:
- Supply chain control;
- Quality, research and innovation;
- Human capital development;
- Responsible communication.
This approach has enabled Salov to fully integrate ESG criteria into its governance model, fostering the development of a production and business framework that is increasingly responsible and long-term oriented.
In 2025, Salov will publish its third Sustainability Report and its second emissions inventory, developed in accordance with both the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol) and ISO 14064, and certified by SGS, the global leader in verification and certification services. This represents further evidence of the Group’s ongoing and transparent commitment in this area.
“Receiving such a prestigious recognition in the ESG field is a source of great pride for us and validates the path we have undertaken in recent years. At Salov, we believe sustainability is not merely a set of objectives but a strategic vision that guides the way we conduct business, day after day. This award strengthens our determination to continue with coherence and responsibility, aware that our mission goes beyond producing excellent olive oil: it is about creating a future where every corporate decision takes people and the planet into account.”
— Gianmarco Laviola, CEO of Salov
