Ferrero: performance-related bonus announced – 2,500 euros for Italian employees
Meeting between company management and the trade unions to determine the amount to be paid in October, as provided for in the Supplementary Agreement
Ferrero has signed an agreement with the trade unions regarding the Performance-Related Bonus for the Group’s 7,000 Italian employees, comprising both blue-collar and white-collar staff. During the meeting between Ferrero’s management and the trade unions – Fai-Cisl, Flai-Cgil, Uila-Uil – in accordance with the Supplementary Company Agreement, the amount of the performance-related bonus (Plo) for the 2025/2026 financial year was determined.
The target amount to be achieved for the reference period was 2,730 euros gross and is determined by the performance of two parameters: the financial result, which is the same for the whole company (and accounts for 30 per cent of the bonus), alongside the operational result (70 per cent of the bonus), which is linked to the specific performance of each plant or area.
“The results achieved confirm a particularly significant level of performance: the average percentage of targets met is over 90 per cent compared with the target figures set by the bonus scheme,” the company states in a press release. However, depending on the location, performance bonuses range from €2,545.86 at Alba to €2,426.02 at Pozzuolo and up to €2,552.23 in the sales division.
The sums will be paid with the October 2026 salary, as set out in the company’s supplementary agreement. In addition, it will be possible to convert part of the performance-related bonus into flexible benefits via the dedicated “Ferrero Care” platform, which brings together initiatives supporting family life, healthcare, supplementary pensions, various services and leisure activities. The converted amount is not subject to tax or social security contributions and will be further increased by the Company by an additional sum equal to 20 per cent of the amount allocated to welfare, thereby enhancing the overall benefit provided.
The company and the trade unions have expressed “full satisfaction with the results achieved, placing the focus on people and their welfare, emphasising the importance of social ties, and recognising the strategic role of well-established and fruitful industrial relations”.
