The Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma confirms its commitment to the environment and completes a multi-year project aimed at supporting the ecological transition of its companies. Launched in 2022, the project has set itself the goal of defining an environmental policy for the Prosciutto di Parma PDO sector that is at the service of its producers, optimizing their performance in terms of sustainability.
To do this, the Parma DOP protection body involved highly qualified and recognized authoritative partners: the Polytechnic University of Milan for the definition and implementation phase of the project, its spin-off Enersem for the development of the software envisaged by the research and CSQA for the aspects relating to the checks.
The project , over the course of more than two years, involved the implementation of several distinct phases. Initially, the environmental footprint of the Prosciutto di Parma DOP sector was calculated by applying the official PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) methodology , a tool made available by the European Commission to evaluate, through specific indicators, the environmental impact of production activities. This operation was made possible thanks to the involvement and active participation of a large number of companies in the sector and was subsequently validated by the CSQA certification body .
