Nurturing a more sustainable future

We therefore promote a balance between economic prosperity, social development and environmental preservation. We respect natural resources and adopt good practices throughout the value chain so that we can take protect the present without compromising the future.

Our material topics

The double materiality analysis we conducted in 2024 identified ten material topics for our stakeholders.

The ESG reporting model

Our sustainability performance indicators are reported according to the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) framework, in line with the recommendations of the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards). Material topics are thus identified in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance.

In addition to these, we continue to report other indicators relevant to the Group’s sustainability strategy, but which were not identified in the double materiality analysis.

This is how we report our material topics according to the ESG framework:

Environment

  • Climate change
  • Food waste
  • Packaging redesign for sustainable resource use

Social

  • Product affordability
  • Product safety and quality standards
  • Product and services innovation
  • Labour rights and working conditions – own workforce
  • Employee learning and development
  • Engaging and supporting local communities

Governance

  • Sustainable and responsible criteria in the supply chain
