"We have only one way of doing business: caring for people and the planet"

Making food that is good for people and the planet is the purpose that everyday drives us. “The joy of food for a better life” expresses the foundation of our existence. It’s about us and our commitment for people and for the planet: offering wholesome products, made with high quality ingredients from sustainable supply chains.

Underlying this commitment, is the will to firmly continue on the path that we undertook several years ago, investing in the product portfolio, combining tradition and innovation; strengthening the environmental and social sustainability of the supply chains, introducing principles of regenerative agriculture; reducing the environmental impact of our strategic supply chains and production facilities; and designing packaging to be recycled.


All the brands of the Group are already contributing to this path by offering not only food products, but the joy that tasty food, made skilfully and through selected ingredients, can bring them.


In order to implement this path, Barilla began defining the new ESG Agenda in 2022, which will contain clear and measurable objectives in order to guide the Company's business through the upcoming years. 

  • We will continue to focus on an essential aspect: the well-being of people who choose our products every day; we will offer them better and better taste and quality
  • We will strengthen sustainable agriculture projects and further deepen regenerative agriculture. In line with global commitments, we will define a longterm plan to continue reducing the impacts of CO2eq emissions at our production sites and along supply chains. 
  • We will continue to produce packages designed for recycling and we will explore any new solutions allowing us to have less and less impact. 
  • Finally, we will maintain our commitment to support communities, thus allowing access to food for a growing number of people, promoting inclusion and the development of local areas.
