Durum wheat, common wheat, basil and tomatoes: the Barilla Group's commitment to sustainable supply chains from farm to fork continues, with 9,000 farms involved in sustainable and regenerative agriculture projects. Furthermore, 100% of Mulino Bianco breads, biscuits and snacks are produced using renewable energy and Barilla's pasta factories have tri-generation plants. Compared to 2010, greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 32% and water consumption per tonne of finished product by 24%. In Italy and worldwide, 100% of the Barilla Group's pasta, sauces, pesto, breads, biscuits and snacks are designed for recycling. In line with decisions made in previous years, Barilla's new plan provides an investment of €1 billion, half of which in Italy, in support of sustainable business. Sustainability at Barilla is also about paying attention to people and local communities. In one year, €3.2 million and over 3,200 tonnes of products have been donated to support the communities where Barilla operates and to improve access to food. The Barilla Group Sustainability Report is now online on the www.barillagroup.com website.
