Strategic sustainability for the Paglieri Group

The results achieved and the investment plan launched have helped consolidate the group's ties with the local area. Among the most significant actions is the establishment of the 'Mario Paglieri' Scholarship, realised in collaboration with the Solidal Foundation for Research. The initiative, supported with a donation of EUR 25,000, is dedicated to the memory of the historic entrepreneur and aims to finance the work of a young researcher in the role of data manager at the Department of Integrated Activities Research and Innovation (DAIRI) of the Alessandria University Hospital for one year.

Alongside its support for research, Paglieri has continued to support established national and international realities such as the Umberto Veronesi Foundation, committed to the fight against cancer, and the La Forza e il Sorriso association, which offers psychological and practical support to women undergoing cancer treatment through beauty and wellness workshops.

The commitment to the community has also been expressed in symbolic initiatives with a strong social impact, such as the donation of the Christmas Tree to the city of Alessandria, a gesture that has helped to strengthen the sense of belonging and to enhance moments of collective sharing. Moreover, for 2024, Paglieri has renewed its commitment to childhood, dedicating attention both to the children of the group's employees and to children in difficult situations, through the choice of solidarity gifts in support of UNICEF activities around the world.

On the environmental front, Paglieri has strengthened its commitment with self-production of energy from photovoltaic plants and an efficiency plan that has helped contain emissions, amounting to 926 tonnes of CO₂e Scope 1 and 1,961 tonnes Scope 2 location-based, in line with reduction targets. New solutions for responsible waste management were also introduced, such as the Ecomatico software, the paper and cardboard compactor and dedicated training programmes. A new steam blending plant will also come on stream, with expected benefits on water consumption and waste management.

"Our growth is the result of targeted investments, rigorous governance, innovation in production processes and concrete attention to people and communities," adds Fabio Rossello, CEO of Paglieri. "The results of 2024 show how sustainability is an integral part of our development model and an engine for creating lasting and sustainable value in the long term. From the choice of recyclable packaging to the formulation of products that are increasingly respectful of nature, every step we take reflects our desire to combine well-being and environmental protection'.
