OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
From carob seed to table, every step is sustainable. 100% chemical-free, 99.8% recycled, always natural.
At LBG Sicilia, sustainability is at the core of who we are as a global food ingredients provider. As a responsible solutions provider for the food industry, we focus on delivering innovative and sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet. By positioning ourselves as a trusted food solutions provider, we ensure that our approach to ESG supports long-term value creation for our partners and communities.
This commitment is reflected in our ESG strategy, which integrates environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and strong governance practices across every stage of our operations.
The carob tree inspired us to create our Industry 4.0 model, with cleaner and more efficient production. Carob tree cultivation thrives in an untouched, natural environment without the use of fertilizers or irrigation systems; moreover, the roots of the carob tree prevent the land’s hydrogeological instability. As a responsible food ingredients provider, we work with a short supply chain, without chemical elements and with a circular economy approach, which allows us to recycle 99.85% of production waste.
