Nature

The gardens, the evergreen olive trees, and the colorful vineyards within the walls of Borgo Ferri thrive in perfect harmony with the environment. The small parks and gardens for walks or meditation convey natural energy. The quality of the environment in Borgo Ferri and Santa Caterina Ionio, the town to which Borgo Ferri belongs, is so pristine that it was recently certified UNI EN ISO 14001.

ISO 14001 is the world’s most-recognized Environmental Management System (EMS) that helps organizations both to manage better the impact of their activities on the environment and to demonstrate sound environmental management.

In its simplest form, an EMS is a solid approach to addressing environmental issues. An ISO certification is not just a prestigious recognition, it is a mindset, a way of doing business or even better, a conscientious way of managing environmental resources. The whole ISO 14000 family provides management tools for organizations to control their environmental aspects and to improve their environmental performance.

The ISO 140001 addresses not only the environmental aspects of an organization’s processes, but also those of its products and services.

The community of Borgo Ferri is also blessed with the neighbouring crystal-clear Ionian Sea. The quality of the sea facing Santa Caterina Ionio is well documented by the Italian Ministry of Health and Santa Caterina Ionio has one of the most renowned diving sites in Italy.
