3 Our mission
Founded in 1966, Caviro is a winegrowers' cooperative which processes the grapes produced by its winegrower partners, who in turn receive advice and guidance on the best types of grape to produce for the various markets. These days the focus is on quality and reduced environmental impact.
Ever since its foundation, Caviro has supplemented its core business of wine production with agri-food by-products and energy from the recovery, recycling and transformation of these by-products. This cuts down on process waste and reduces the environmental impact of its operations to almost zero.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST EDITION OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our commitment to a sustainable future is evident in the SECOND EDITION of our Sustainability Report.
The purpose of this report is not only to document the goals achieved, but also to define targets for the coming years and to relate the key events in the year under review – such as EQUALITAS certification.
23 Sustainability E-MAG
INNESTI (powered by CAVIRO) is an e-magazine which showcases ideas with the potential to lead us forward to an environmentally-aware future. Inside you'll find news about people and places, projects and research, good practice and industry trends. But INNESTI also celebrates our commitment to creating something that doesn't yet exist.
History as a whole, in all its complexity, is made of an infinity of micro-narratives whose strength resides in their ability to elicit a sense of identification and closeness to our own stories and lives.
INNESTI examines a few of these stories, each a strand in a bigger story. www.innesti.com
24 Oasis of the Storks
For over 20 years, Caviro has supported the "oasis of the storks" – official name Centro didattico Carlo Gulmanelli – a reinstated nature zone adjacent to the Caviro Extra plant on via Convertite, Faenza.
The land occupied by the oasis was donated to the association in charge of it, together with the storks who make their homes there: they live on insects and small animals, and have plenty of space and twigs etc. to make their nests.
