A short supply chain
turning sustainability into reality
We are amongst the main producers of oleochemicals in Europe, offering a vast range of fatty acids, glycerines and derivatives. The raw materials that we use are byproducts of the food industry and are sourced from the local area: an exceptionally short and highly-sustainable supply chain rooted in the circular economy. In 2025, the Company maintained business relationships with a total of 68 raw material suppliers—38 based in Italy and 30 in the rest of Europe—with no suppliers headquartered outside the European continent. In 2025, 71% of our materials consisted of upcycled resources, derived from the recovery of food industry by-products. And thanks to our commitment to protecting the environment, our clients can guide their consumers towards consciously purchasing sustainable products.
MARKETS AND PRODUCTS
Renewable raw materials
Our raw materials are primarily derived from food industry processing by-products that are no longer suitable for human consumption, such as acid oils (predominantly derived from olive oil) and animal fats. We have established an exceptionally short supply chain that supports our sustainable approach through tangible figures as well. In 2025, upcycled raw materials reached 71%, driven largely by the use of food supply chain by-products.

SUSTAINABILITY: AN ONGOING COMMITMENT
Sowing the seeds of our commitment every day so as to reap the rewards in the long term
We consider what we do at Green Oleo to be truly bio-based chemistry. We adopt production policies which reconcile our need for economic development with our commitment to sustainability, as we constantly strive to reduce our environmental impact and our consumption of resources.
The wastewater produced by our facilities is constantly monitored and, wherever necessary, carefully treated before being released into the environment.
Since 2015, volatile emissions from organic compounds are thermally destroyed and broken down into carbon dioxide and water, thus eliminating unpleasant odours.
