Sustainability targets for the Group and its Companies have been defined taking into account the corporate responsibility strategy, including the policies that support it, and the findings of its double materiality assessment. To each material topic identified correspond specific targets.
These targets are directly aligned with the Group’s products, customers, countries of operation, and stakeholders. Product-related targets focus on the reformulation and nutritional improvement of Private Brand food products, the expansion of specific ranges (e.g., lactose-free, gluten-free, organic, vegetarian and vegan products, and those for customers with a more active lifestyle) and the application of labelling schemes such as the Nutri-Score, adapted to the consumer profiles in the three main countries where we have operations (Poland, Portugal and Colombia). These targets address the needs of different customer groups, including children, older people, individuals with dietary restrictions, and consumers seeking healthier or organic products. Environmental commitments, such as reducing emissions and energy and water consumption and obtaining environmental certification for operational units, are aligned with the Group’s operational characteristics. From a social perspective, the geographical context of each Company is considered, resulting in different needs, ranging from employee training and development initiatives to programmes supporting vulnerable communities. To achieve these objectives, the Group engages stakeholders such as suppliers, particularly in relation to reducing Scope 3 emissions, as well as local institutions that understand the needs of the surrounding communities.
Targets are defined in close collaboration with each of the Companies’ Sustainability Committees through dedicated meetings held for such purpose.
