Giropoma obtains SPRING certification to reinforce its commitment to responsible water use

Giropoma has recently obtained the SPRING certification, an international recognition linked to the GLOBALG.A.P. standard that validates best practices in sustainable water management in agricultural production. This certification focuses on one of the most valuable and sensitive resources in the agricultural sector: water. The objective of SPRING is to ensure that producers use this resource in a sustainable, efficient and responsible way, through control systems, planning and continuous improvement processes that guarantee its long-term availability.

 

What is SPRING certification?

SPRING is an additional module of GLOBALG.A.P. that evaluates and certifies water management in agricultural operations. Its name stands for Sustainable Program for Irrigation and Groundwater Use, and it establishes criteria to ensure the responsible use of water resources.

This certification system analyzes aspects such as water consumption management and monitoring, irrigation system efficiency, protection of local water resources, and sustainable planning of their use.

With these criteria, SPRING helps ensure that agricultural production is carried out while respecting ecosystems and contributing to preserving water for the future.

 

A commitment aligned with Giropoma’s philosophy

For Giropoma, obtaining this certification is another step in its ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and sustainability.

Following the drought episodes that have affected the region in recent years, responsible water management has become an even clearer priority for the agricultural sector. In this context, SPRING certification represents a tool to reinforce and validate the practices that were already being implemented.

 

Water management already embedded in daily operations

Obtaining the certification has not required major changes for Giropoma. The company already had a strong awareness of the importance of properly managing water resources.

A key element in this management is Giroreg, an in-house tool that allows precise control and optimization of irrigation. This system enables more efficient water use, adapting irrigation to the real needs of crops and avoiding waste.

Thanks to these tools and a responsible resource management, Giropoma continues to move towards a more sustainable, efficient and environmentally respectful production model.
