We were the first company in the sector to calculate and verify the Water Footprint of our olives.

What is the water footprint?

The water footprint is defined as the amount of water consumed, evaporated, or contaminated per unit mass of the final product, regardless of its origin.

This figure is nearly 60% lower than the average water footprint for this product in Spain, estimated by the Water Footprint Network at 2,750 litres/kg.

What is its purpose?

Knowledge of the water footprint is very useful when implementing improvements in water management, and this information is valued by distributors and end consumers alike.

For example, the production of one kilogram of packaged olives, the functional unit, requires the use of 1,167 litres of water, of which 86.7% is used during agricultural activities.

Olives FRAGATA sponsors the Morón Basketball Club #FragataconelDeporte

The hobby of basketball is very important in Morón de la Frontera and since 2013 and within its policy of commitment to society, FRAGATA decided to join this club and become the main sponsor of the “Aceitunas Fragata Morón”. We support all categories of the club, from the first team to the more than 100 children and young people who compete in lower categories.

In the 2014-2015 season, Aceitunas Fragata Morón managed to advance to the LEB PLATA LEAGUE and currently the Club has become a “reference in basketball at both the regional and provincial levels.”

For society

We are active participants in several initiatives and institutions dedicated to providing food to individuals and families in need. This work has become particularly relevant today, with a significant reduction in income for many Spanish families who now depend heavily on provisions and assistance provided by organisations such as food banks or Cáritas at the local level, such as the convent of the Sisters of the Company of the Cross in Morón de la Frontera (Seville), where children in vulnerable situations are cared for.

Seville Food Bank Foundation

Ángel Camacho Alimentación has been honoured by the Seville Food Bank Foundation in recognition of collaboration that began 18 years ago and which, in just the last two years, has resulted in the delivery of over 200 tonnes of food.

“Andalusians sharing”

This is an initiative by the Cajasol Foundation and Lándaluz, launched in 2013 and involving 15 major Andalusian companies and brands, including Fragata and La Vieja Fábrica, providing essential foodstuffs to disadvantaged people. Distribution is carried out in collaboration with various social organisations such as Cáritas, the Food Bank, social grocery stores, and dining facilities, among others.

NO WASTE IN FOOD, MAKE THE MOST OF IT

It is estimated that each year one-third of the food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted: more than 1.3 billion tonnes of food that never reach the final consumer. In Spain, 2.9 million tons of food end up in household waste annually. Conscious of this issue, the Spanish Association of Manufacturers and Distributors (AECOC), of which Ángel Camacho Alimentación is a member, is leading a pioneering campaign in Europe to curb food waste, set out in a collaboration agreement signed by a hundred companies and associations related to the food sector. This agreement is supported by the Public Administration and the Spanish Federation of Food Banks (FESBAL). The project has two main objectives, supported by adherence by participants to a collection of 10 best practices aimed at: Reducing waste throughout the entire food chain and optimising the use of any “surplus” produced along the value chain.
