“companies and personalities that have distinguished themselves during the year and have contributed virtuously to the development of our country.”
IORI is the only company selected for the agricultural business.
The award, sponsored by the Council of Italian Ministers, was given in Rome, in the presence of Press and Authorities.

Europe’s fifth largest rating agency, Cerved Group, has produced an independent report after analysing 1.850 companies in the agro-industrial sector on environmental, social and economic sustainability. The first company in the fruit and vegetable sector in Italy was IORI (second in the overall Italian ranking). During the event for the presentation of the results, the company was rewarded in the presence of the Minister of Agriculture.

Since 1957, IORI has been growing vegetables in the fertile soil of the former Fucino Lake, at the gateway to Italy’s oldest national park.

Since the 1990s it has specialised in the production and packaging of carrots for large-scale distribution both in Italy and abroad. The company, which has been involved in social inclusion and biodiversity protection projects for many years, has invested in a modern production plant in the green heart of Italy (about one hundred kilometres from Rome) which will be completed by 2021.

Although based in Abruzzo, IORI has expanded its production areas in Italy to ensure greater product freshness and year-round availability. Thanks to the company’s commercial partners, the carrots are appreciated in the main European countries.
