Commitment
ANDRIANI’S ROAD TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This is a shared journey towards a more ethical, sustainable supply chain model that sets new paradigms to integrate into our business model, allows us to update our structures, proposes cutting-edge technologies and requires unexpected skills, but above all marks our reporting periods with increasing pride as a summary of our work.
The Sustainability Management Report accounts for the activities carried out by Andriani and represents one of the company’s main communication tools with its stakeholders: each chapter, in fact, refers to the 17 SDGs, emphasizing its increasingly active commitment to Sustainable Development and its contribution to achieving the 10 Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, detailing both sustainability performance, achieved results, actions for the common good, and economic-financial information.
The report also defines a developmental process for responsibility and awareness, also with regard to current scenarios, in which the company, with proactive, innovative spirit, brings together all our expertise, opening up more and more to collaboration and cooperation with third parties as a solution for virtuous growth.
“Da questo documento emerge l’enorme sforzo che l’intera filiera agroalimentare sta compiendo nel perseguire non solo risultati economici, ma una transizione radicale. In questa direzione il 2021 ha rappresentato per noi un anno veramente entusiasmante: finalmente l’intera società, istituzioni, governi, cittadini e cittadine, ci stanno sollecitando ad un rapido e reale cambiamento” ha dichiarato Michele Andriani, Presidente e AD di Andriani S.p.A. Società Benefit, introducendo la Relazione sulla Gestione di Sostenibilità.
Redatta in conformità ai Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards, definiti dal GRI Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standard 2021), agli Standard GBS 2013, allo Standard BIA di B Lab, la Relazione sulla Gestione di Sostenibilità di Andriani è asseverata dalla società di revisione Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. secondo i criteri del principio ISAE 3000 Revised.”
The goals fit into 5 areas of impact:
Production chain and sustainable agriculture
Improving understanding and analysis of the impacts along the production chain for gluten-free cereals and pulses, creating value for all the actors involved and introducing principles of sustainable, integrated agriculture as much as possible.

Promotion of the health and wellbeing of people and consumers through diet and a healthy, dynamic lifestyle, also as a result of research, development and promotion of increasingly healthy products, thanks to the constant study of new solutions in terms of flavour and nutritional profile.
Development and promotion of the territory
Development and promotion of the territory in which the company operates, acting for its cultural identity and the social wellbeing of the community, at both a national and local level, with initiatives to raise awareness on the issue of sustainable development and the common good, involving stakeholders and adopting values such as transparency, dialogue and cooperation.
Climate change and the circular economy

MISSION
Imparare dai consumatori.

Essere sempre all’avanguardia nel modo in cui coltiviamo, processiamo e produciamo i nostri prodotti non è solo un vanto, ma un obbligo verso chi si fida di noi.
Assicurarci che tutti i nostri fornitori e distributori rispettino, come noi, l’ambiente e la comunità, oltre al consumatore, è essenziale, come lo è aiutarli a farlo quando ce lo chiedono.

Andriani Educational
Andriani S.p.A. presents its first food education programme, designed for schools of all types and levels to raise students’ awareness on the issues of sustainability and the importance of adopting a healthy, natural lifestyle that respects ourselves, others and the environment around us.
The project involves the participation of teachers, students and their families, creating an extensive working group on the issue of sustainable food.
Included in the programme are cooking and gardening workshops, research and in-depth analysis.
Starting with seeds, and in particular, pulses, it will be possible to learn how to develop a sustainable lifestyle that aims towards the wellbeing of individuals and the environment, without sacrificing the pleasure of eating good food together.
A FOCUS ON PULSES
The course has a major focus on pulses, which are ancient ingredients in the traditional Mediterranean diet, and are recommended by experts for their healthy properties and the positive effects their consumption has on the environment, despite not being particularly widely-appreciated today, especially by children.
THE IMPORTANCE OF VARIETY
Learning to enjoy a menu rich in healthy ingredients that are good for the environment and the people who produce them is one of the goals shared by international authorities to encourage the spread of a sustainable diet, which is indispensable to protect our wellbeing.
This goal should be pursued from a young age, as dietary habits already take root in early infancy. But it is not easy to achieve. Indeed, the complexity of the world of consumption often gives us contradictory messages, which are not in line with what we need for our own health and that of the planet. We therefore need strategies to upgrade our daily routines with new habits, new ingredients and new recipes, to promote in families and at school, in order to encourage a balanced, conscious relationship with food.
“Our goal is to spread the principles of a diet that is sustainable for the environment and our health through a methodology of research and workshops, which doesn’t involve teaching dogma and abstract lessons, but instead actively engaging all participants in stimulating, constructive experiences,” says Michele Andriani, President of Andriani S.p.A.
AGRICULTURE AND SUPPLY CHAIN
FORMING COLLABORATIONS WITH SCIENTIFIC PARTNERS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL TOOLS, CUTTING-EDGE SYSTEMS AND THE SKILLS OF OUR AGRONOMISTS, IS THE ROUTE TO GOOD, CLEAN, FAIR FOOD.
The sustainability of the agricultural supply chain is one of the main goals in Andriani’s strategy, and we are increasingly attentive to the impact generated by the sector and aware of the need to introduce tools and practices for more conscious, responsible agricultural production.
WELL BEING
THE CENTRAL ROLE OF PEOPLE
Human resources are the driving force behind company life and activities.
The rights, training and development of our staff play an important role in the organisation of the company, and we promote careful planning for training activities.
