Misitano & Stracuzzi: Calculation of Organizational and Product Carbon Footprint and EcoVadis Rating Support
The challenge
Misitano & Stracuzzi, founded in 1922, is a leading international company in the processing of citrus fruits and in the production of essential oils and juices formulated to each client's specifications. The beating heart of the company's strategy lies in a constant technological and qualitative progress, combined with a deep ethical culture based on respect for people and the environment.
Misitano & Stracuzzi's commitment to sustainability has deep roots: initially focused on ethical-social responsibility, the company has progressively broadened its horizons to include a 360-degree sustainability management.
The company considers environmental monitoring and transparency a strategic lever for anticipating regulations and consolidating its competitive advantage, going well beyond simple compliance requirements. This commitment translates into a constant drive towards production efficiency.
With this in mind, Misitano & Stracuzzi chose Up2You as a specialized partner to structure and optimize its sustainability journey. All of this thanks to the support from expert consultants from Up2You and the use of a proprietary platform integrated with AI.

Needs and Objectives
Meeting market and client demands
Large international clients were demanding increasingly higher sustainability standards. Misitano & Stracuzzi needed to meet these requirements to position itself transparently and competitively in the market.
Unifying and structuring the ESG strategy
The company felt the need to encompass ethical, social, and environmental aspects within a single, integrated corporate policy. This step was essential for efficiently monitoring performance and defining precise KPIs on which to base future actions.
Anticipating European regulations
Instead of passively awaiting new laws, the company had the strategic goal of moving ahead of regulatory plans. The intention was to be prepared for new regulations, transforming sustainability into a lever for innovation.
Initial Challenges
Regulatory complexity and uncertainty
At the outset, the continuous evolution and complexity of directives, especially at the European level, were a significant source of uncertainty. The company needed to ensure that its initiatives were truly compliant and aligned with international regulations and guidelines.
Ensuring scientific and realistic measurement
Misitano & Stracuzzi didn't want to settle for approximate estimates; they had a strong need for extremely precise reporting. The main challenge was to ensure that environmental issues were addressed with an objective and scientifically realistic approach.
The Scope 3 hurdle and data fragmentation
Reporting indirect emissions (Scope 3) was the biggest challenge, initially perceived as a critical obstacle. Collecting and standardizing data comprehensively from various company departments proved to be a complex operation.

The Project
The collaboration between Up2You and Misitano & Stracuzzi began several years ago with the aim of calculating the Organizational Carbon Footprint through the CliMax module of the Up2You Platform. This step allowed the company to overcome the fragmentation of traditional processes, transforming manual data submission into fully digital and personalized management.
Since 2025, the project's scope has further expanded to meet the company's new challenges. Misitano & Stracuzzi has initiated the calculation of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) directly on CliMax, extending the analysis from the organization to individual products. In parallel, Up2You has begun to support the company with a strategic guidance service, aimed at obtaining and progressively improving the EcoVadis rating.
The results achieved have solidified this collaboration, transforming it into a structured and long-term partnership. Today, the project continues with the annual renewal of the Organizational Carbon Footprint and with ongoing support on the EcoVadisfront, offering Misitano & Stracuzzi an updated and robust database on which to build its future strategic decisions and consolidate its competitive advantage in the market.
