Abstract:

Barilla owns 30 production sites (14 in Italy and 16 outside Italy) of which 9 are directly managed mills that provide most of
the raw materials for the production of its pasta and bakery products. Barilla exports to more than 100 countries. Every year
about 1,700,000 tons of food products with the brands Barilla, Mulino Bianco, Voiello, Pavesi, Academia Barilla, Wasa, Harry’s
(France and Russia), Misko (Greece), Filiz (Turkey), Yemina and Vesta (Mexico) are featured on dining tables the world over.
Barilla has become one of the world’s most esteemed food companies and is recognized worldwide as a symbol of Italian knowhow.
The quality and food safety of Barilla products is based on two main factors: The skills and experience contributed by the
people involved in the Barilla production process and the respect of a clearly defined and widely understood set of rules. Right
from the start, Barilla has always married the achievement of economic goals with social commitments to the areas in which it
operates. Knowledge of social and economic contexts united with integrity, transparency and innovation enabled the founders
to identify their own entrepreneurial style and hand it down from generation to generation. Good for You, Good for the Planet
is the only way that Barilla has identified to grow and double its business and through which it aims to strengthen its presence
in existing markets and expand into emerging markets. This is a strong identity that expresses the company’s contribution to the
sustainable development of the communities and the planet.
