EcoGiró, a new packing solution for a sustainable world

Giró commitment to sustainability and the environment

EcoGiró is the brand through which GIRÓ expresses its compromise with the environment and sustainable development. As a market leader in net packing solutions, Giró is focused on researching environmentally friendly materials and packing technologies to be applied to the fresh produce packing industry.

Giró commitment to sustainability

Since last June 2021, Giró Group is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, a call to all companies to work together in their strategies and operations with the Ten Universal Principles declared since the beginning of this initiative in 2000 and to take measures that promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a company involved in this initiative, Giró accepts these Ten Principles, committing to implement them internally and, therefore, to respect human rights and labor standards, preserve the environment, and act with transparency in its activities and operations.

In the following link, you can find the Progress Report that includes all the initiatives our group has conducted or is developing to comply with these principles and contribute to achieving the SDGs.
