Pomì Obtains Social Footprint Certification

This year Pomì, an Italian tomato brand, gained a new certification: The Social Footprint – Product Social Identity (SFP). The Company is the first in the Italian food sector to obtain the certification.

The SFP is a social map of every Pomì product based on an auditing scheme developed and implemented by a third-party certification body. In Pomì’s case, it was Bureau Veritas who awarded Pomì products with a AAA level, the highest possible. The results are based on a set of strict indicators that are analyzed to map and calculate the company’s social footprint including, among others, the selection and traceability of the fresh products and all ingredients, the management of the supply-chain and the continuous enhancement of labor policies, i.e. working conditions, continuous education and gender equality of the working force.

The information is made available to consumers in order for them to feel comfortable buying responsibly. The data is published under the SFP labels for every product on the consortium’s online platforms.

The Social Footprint certification is a further step towards the constant commitment of Pomì to sustainable agriculture, a daily and concrete responsibility of the Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro.

The new certification expands the set of information already available thanks to Pomì Trace. The system allows consumers to trace Pomì’s production process back to the farm that grew the tomatoes in the box by simply visiting www.pomi.us.com and entering the lot number and hour of production found on the pack. 

All Pomì products are 100 percent Italian, BPA-free, kosher, non-GMO, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, no citric acid and no water added. Pomì comes in conveniently sealed BPA-free, recyclable boxes that are easy to store.
