As a result of globalization, companies are operating in a multicultural context, and their values need to adapt accordingly.

The 16,000 Barilla people –of whom more than 5,000 work in Italy – are the company’s main resource on our journey to growth and success.


Barilla aims to inspire excellence in people at every level of the organization. The company believes that only by improving professional abilities and developing the potential of each individual we can gain the trust of consumers and ensure the success of the business worldwide.

PROGRESS TO DATE

CARE FOR AND DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS

  • We have established the Barilla LAB, which is concerned with training, the development of managerial skills, and dialogue with universities and research centers.
  • We have developed the Barilla Human Capital Model, with the purpose of improving and harmonizing all human resources management processes.
  • In the first quarter of 2009, we launched the Barilla Leadership Model to develop and improve managerial skills, competencies and performance.

INDIVIDUAL AND GENERAL RESPONSIBILITY

  • In 2003, we disseminated the document “Changing to Last,” in which Barilla identified and laid down the values and principles underpinning our corporate culture.
  • In 2005, the principles contained in this document were reformulated as a system of rules and behavior, summarized in our Code of Ethics.
  • Our Performance &Development Process program provides for the on-going development of organizational behavior.
