Ferrero Group announced the latest progress in its sustainability journey, with the release of its 2024 Sustainability Report.

Ferrero Group’s latest Sustainability Report showed the steady progress of sustainability commitments in emission, packaging, and more aspects.

Scope 1-3 emission reduction target

Ferrero has made strong progress toward its 2030 goal of halving greenhouse gas emissions, with significant reductions already achieved compared to its 2017/18 baseline.

The company’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions were reduced by 21.7%, while Scope 3, FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) and non-FLAG emissions were disaggregated to improve carbon accounting and enhance data reliability and accuracy.

Additionally, 90% of electricity for manufacturing and warehousing is now sourced from renewables.

Recyclable packaging design

With 92.1% of its packaging now designed to be recyclable, the company has maintained its commitment to ensuring more than 90% of packaging materials are reusable, recyclable, or compostable.

Notable progress has been made in reducing virgin plastic, including a 13% decrease in the plastic-to-product ratio. This includes the conversion of Ferrero Rocher boxes from polystyrene to polypropylene in North America and China, resulting in an estimated saving of approximately 11,000 tons of plastic.

Other highlights include the launch of Nutella Plant-Based in jars made from 60% recycled glass and the rollout of Kinder Joy’s paper spoon.

Other sustainability commitments

Other highlights from the group’s Sustainability Report include traceability of ingredients across global supply chains, food safety and quality, responsible consumption, and empowering communities.
