People

In a fast-moving, complex world:

• People live in a climate of great insecurity.
• The consumer is submerged by a tidal wave of products, advertising and messages.
• Contradictory information makes them wary of companies’ marketing and communication.

Food manufacturers need to reconcile a legitimate aspiration to develop and grow with dutiful and proactive respect for the rules of healthy eating, adopting a form of communication that is crystal clear and works to promote a healthy lifestyle.

For Barilla, product and consumer have always been the points of reference whatever the commitment or activity.

Barilla recognizes that consumers have four fundamental rights:
- the right to safety, which means the company must adopt and guarantee the highest possible standards;
- the right to be informed and the right to choose, which Barilla satisfies by providing the consumer with full and transparent information;
- the right to be listened to, which means we pay very careful attention to consumers’ legitimate aspirations and demands.

PROGRESS TO DATE

SAFETY AND QUALITY

  • Over the years, we have designed and established the “Barilla System” of food quality and safety management. Combined with our procurement, production and distribution procedures, this system ensures that our products meet the strictest quality standards.

COMMUNICATION

  • Our packaging carries information as to what constitutes an appropriate helping as part of a healthy diet.
  • “Open days”: We have arranged visits to our factories to show consumers, as transparently as possible, how our products are manufactured.
