What’s new in the 2025 report
This year’s report introduces important updates to Ferrero’s approach across responsible sourcing and nutrition, with new frameworks and criteria designed to guide progress across our value chain and product portfolio.
FERRERO FARMING VALUES
Ferrero launched the enhanced Ferrero Farming Values framework across its key ingredients, reinforcing its long-term and consistent approach to responsible sourcing.
Rooted in Ferrero’s long-standing philosophy of Sacco Conosciuto (“knowing what’s in the bag”), Ferrero Farming Values guides how we source ingredients with quality, care, and responsibility across our supply chains. The framework is built around five interconnected elements: Supplier Due Diligence, Traceability, Certification & Standards, Farming Practices & Communities, and Sector Transformation. Together, these elements help strengthen supply chain resilience, enhance transparency and accountability, support farming communities, and contribute to the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems.

FERRERO NUTRITION CRITERIA
Ferrero published the science-based Ferrero Nutrition Criteria, developed under the guidance of the Ferrero Nutrition Board. These category-specific standards are designed to evaluate the product portfolio and guide innovation in line with evolving consumer needs, nutrition science, quality and taste.

Our progress is rooted in our sustainability framework, focusing on four core sustainability pillars: protecting the environment, sourcing ingredients sustainably, promoting responsible consumption and empowering people. We make progress on these pillars by investing in innovation and technology, enhancing transparency and compliance, as well as fostering a culture of collaboration.
