ForThe Environment
Baci® Perugina® adheres to the Nestlé Cocoa Plan, the program that deals with training cocoa farmers, improving their economic and sanitary conditions. We believe that the promotion of gender equality and the construction of schools raises the quality of life of the entire community in the long run.
Baci® Perugina® is RA certified — a sustainability program that prevents the improper use of chemicals and uncontrolled deforestation, which present a real threat to the sustainability of cocoa farming. The goal is to create an efficient certification and traceability program for socially and environmentally responsible cocoa production that meets the needs of both producers and markets.
As part of the Nestlé Group, Baci® Perugina® is dedicated to environmental protection and develops initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of its activities on the territory, with a perspective of Creating Shared Value.
Since 2009, the San Sisto plant has been home to a photovoltaic park, one of the first of its kind in Italy and the world, created as part of the broader "Sole Amico" project, aimed at solar energy production.
Thanks to the installation of solar panels and an energy regeneration system for the production of electricity, steam, hot water, and chilled water for conditioning, it is possible to self-produce 90% of the electricity needed for the plant.
