Valsoia , a leading company in the Italian market of health food products, listed on the Euronext Milan market managed by Borsa Italiana, has presented its 2024 Sustainability Report , now in its fifth edition.

Drafted on a voluntary basis and inspired by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) required by EU Regulation 2023/2772, the reporting provides a transparent and in-depth view of Valsoia's activities and performance in the Corporate Social Responsibility area and demonstrates the company's growing attention to 360-degree sustainability.

“For Valsoia, sustainability means creating lasting value for all our stakeholders: our people, consumers, suppliers, the territory that hosts us and society as a whole,” commented Andrea Panzani , CEO and General Manager of Valsoia. “We have conceived the 2024–2026 Sustainability Plan to strengthen our commitment and increase the positive impact on our key stakeholders and along the entire value chain. We will continue to focus on social and environmental aspects, supporting the growth and training of young people and talents who contribute every day to the development of our brands and our organization.”

In 2025, Valsoia has already reached an important milestone with the achievement of ISO 45001 certification , which attests to the company's priority attention to the health and safety of workers.

During 2024, Valsoia achieved significant results, with the improvement of environmental performance , where the company recorded an 8% reduction in gross greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) and a 30% increase compared to 2023 in the percentage of electricity used coming from renewable sources with a guarantee of origin.

The commitment to the growth and development of its employees has materialized in a significant 15% increase in staff and also with the adaptation of internal control systems through the implementation of adaptation actions regarding the Code of Ethics , Model 231 and the internal reporting system ( whistleblowing ). Finally, with an ESG risk management and monitoring system, Valsoia has further structured a system for monitoring risks related to environmental, social and governance factors.

These results are part of the ambitious 2024-2026 Sustainability Plan , where Valsoia has defined the sustainability priorities for the three-year period, focusing on the three strategic areas of intervention and identifying concrete objectives to be achieved by 2026.

With regard to the environmental aspect (Environment), Valsoia is committed to the construction of a new photovoltaic system at the new headquarters of the Serravalle Sesia plant, with the aim of increasing self-produced energy by 10%.

At the same time, the company aims to improve the efficiency of energy consumption in the production of extracts, with a 10% reduction, and to reduce water consumption by 15% of the specific consumption KWh/m3 of water taken, optimizing its use for a total of 24,000 cubic meters less. A further action includes the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) evaluation of the environmental impact of the best-selling ice creams. In terms of waste management, Valsoia aims to reduce the total quantity to less than 10 kg/ton and to limit the incidence of hazardous waste to less than 1% per year. Starting from 2025, a significant 50% reduction in by-products is also expected.

With regard to the Social aspect, Valsoia has strengthened its investment in the development of its human capital through the provision of 6,000 total hours of technical and managerial training. The company is also committed to intensifying collaborations with the academic world and higher technical institutes, with the activation of at least 6 specific projects.

In terms of Governance , Valsoia has planned the integration of ESG factors in the supply chain management, evaluation and monitoring processes, with the implementation of dedicated audit activities. The company will work towards alignment with CSRD/ESRS compliance and the adaptation of its internal control systems. A further challenge concerns the mapping of the Value Chain and the optimization of distribution processes, with the aim of reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 5%.
