The Barilla Group announced that the company now uses 48% of its electricity from renewable sources and installed 4 MW of photovoltaic systems for self-generation at its plants during the past five years.

The company’s €168 million energy and water plan includes the installation of a total of 24 MW by 2030 and targets a 250% increase in recycled and reused water in water-stressed areas, according to its latest sustainability report.

In 2024, the company reported emissions fell by 3.5% compared to 2022.

By 2030, the company seeks to have 24 MW installed from photovoltaic plants, a 42% decline in emissions to meet its SBTi Scope 1 and 2 goals, a 30% emissions reduction goal to achieve its SBTi Scope 3 Flag emissions, and a 25% decline in its SBTi Scope 3 industrial emissions.

“The road will be long and complex as always, but thanks to the commitment and passion of our People we are ready to continue the journey with the same intensity and determination with which we began,” said Guido, Luca and Paolo Barilla in a statement.

Barilla also intends to encourage progressive diffusion of regenerative agriculture with the goal of reaching a supply of 250,000 tons of raw materials from certified regenerative production by 2030.
