Sustainability

Now a regular event, we are very pleased to share our Sustainability Report, now in its third edition.

We come to this appointment prepared, looking back with satisfaction at the path we have taken so far, which has seen us, in a global economic context that is anything but easy, succeed in increasing our turnover, while holding firmly to the values that distinguish us, and that our customers find in our products.

It is precisely the overcoming of difficulties that confirms even more the goodness of our approach, particularly in terms of innovation and investment, which has not been lacking as much for our products as for our choices in energy, an example of which is our new trigeneration plant and the expansion of our photovoltaic energy production.

The environmental aspect now mentioned is, of course, not the only recipient of our attention, aware that the path we began some time ago on the subject of Sustainability must necessarily also include social aspects, which are, moreover, reflected in our very nature as a Cooperative.

In particular, our employees, for whom we want to ensure a healthy and welcoming workplace, remain a fundamental element of our success, and in particular with our Contadino's Butcher Shops, distributed throughout our chosen territory, we believe that they are precisely the best ambassadors of our brands and of our doing business.

The communities in which we operate for that matter can well be said to be witnesses to this: not only through our outlets (which in some cases are important elements in the revitalization of historic centers), but also through the many initiatives we offer each year, open as much to our employees and members as to anyone who wants to get to know us better and appreciate, in addition to our products, the people and processes behind them. Whether these initiatives are important reforestation projects (such as the new green corridor that connects our business center to the Imola delicatessen), or events that reward business excellence (such as the '100% Italian Award') in all of them we want to convey our vocation to positively influence society and the environment around us.

In a constantly changing economic and social context, strong in the added value constituted by our members, we want to contribute, in the agrifood sector of our country to represent a point of reference in which to find not only the highest quality, but also tangible proof that there is the possibility, in the authentically cooperative enterprise of combining tradition and innovation, aware of the challenges of tomorrow, and ready to respond to them in the sign of sustainability, economic, environmental and social.

Good reading,
Giovanni Bettini
