Circular economy

We work to make our use of resources increasingly circular, reducing waste and making the most of what can be recovered, reused or recycled.
Through operational solutions, partnerships and digital tools we act on both incoming materials and outgoing waste, with the aim of preventing waste and giving resources a new life.

Our Commitments

Preventing waste

We act to prevent food waste and make good use of surpluses that are still fit for consumption. Through Too Good To Go, Banco Alimentare, Last Minute Market, waste-saving bags and the Un Bel Gesto project, we recover unconsumed food and meals, encouraging their reuse and redistribution.

Turning waste into new resources

Through dedicated partnerships we make use of residues and waste that can be fed back into new processes. With the Hera Group we recover used cooking oil and organic waste to produce biofuel and biomethane, while with Waste2Value we are testing new ways of recovering food waste. In this way we reduce disposal and encourage the recovery of materials and energy.

Promoting reuse

We work to extend the useful life of equipment and materials. With Riusoo and Re-cooperiamo we promote their reuse and sharing, making items no longer in use available to other organisations that may need them, and reducing new purchases and disposal.

The next frontiers

Our goals: Measuring to improve

Today our measurements are based on estimates, because we often operate in facilities we do not own. We cannot make promises we cannot measure. Here are our concrete commitments for the coming years:

  • Map actual consumption: Implement a new data collection system that records water consumption alongside invoices, covering around 300 delivery points

  • Increase certified sites: Move from the current 6 sites with Ecolabel cleaning to 14 certified sites by 2028

  • Raise awareness in the team: Launch annual training for the entire workforce to promote good practices in water use
