Ferrero released its Sustainability Report for the 2024/25 financial year, outlining how the company translates commitments into concrete action and measurable progress.
Published as Ferrero celebrates its 80th anniversary, the report highlights how sustainability initiatives are embedded across its business and are aimed at supporting sustainable food systems end-to-end: from the farms and communities where ingredients are sourced, to its factories, products and people. It also shows the enhanced Ferrero Farming Values framework as a central driver of the Group’s approach to sourcing ingredients and resilience across supply chains.
“Ferrero’s long-term success remains closely linked to the wellbeing of the people and ecosystems on which our supply chain depends. Consumers are increasingly looking for brands they can trust — built on quality, good sourcing practices, careful manufacturing, and a genuine commitment to people and the planet.
Guided by our purpose and long-term vision, we will continue supporting initiatives related to the protection of natural resources, the support of our people, communities and partners and the creation of products that delight consumers for generations to come.” said Giovanni Ferrero, President of Ferrero Group.
Ferrero Farming Values is built around five core elements:
- Supplier due diligence
- Supply chain traceability and visibility
- Certification and standards
- Farming practices and communities
- Sector transformation
Collaboration with stakeholders is essential to addressing systemic challenges. They provide a consistent, yet flexible framework to address the specific risks and opportunities of the supply chain for key ingredients such as cocoa, palm oil, hazelnuts, coffee and dairy.
“Ferrero Farming Values translates our sustainability approach into concrete actions across the sourcing of our key ingredients,” said Lapo Civiletti, Chief Executive Officer of Ferrero Group. “It provides a structured framework to strengthen supplier accountability, improve traceability and certification, support farmers, and drive collaboration across the sector — while allowing us to adapt to the specific realities of each ingredient supply chain.”
