Our way of doing business
“The joy of food for a better life” is our purpose and 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.
Behind each strand of spaghetti, each biscuit or sauce there is a story made up of passion, quality, people and values. That’s why our sustainability journey tells our story and the story of our commitment to people and the world we live in, allowing access to food for a growing number of people, promoting inclusion and the development of local areas.
