Barilla Shares “Stories of Sustainability”
July 8, 2026 | 2 min to read
A slimmer Tagliatelle pack that saves 150 tons of cardboard and cuts transport-related CO₂ emissions by 20%; ready-made sauce jars made with around 65% recycled glass; the progressive scaling of regenerative agriculture practices across Barilla’s value chain and initiatives supporting inclusion and equal opportunities across the Group’s production sites and communities.
These are just some of the “sustainability” stories the Barilla Group is sharing with the publication of its 2025 Sustainability Report. The report comes just after Barilla was named the world’s most reputable company in the food sector for the third year running and, for the first time, ranked among the global top 10 in the Global RepTrak 100 2026.
“The future of the planet will increasingly depend on our ability to spread culture and education,” says Paolo Barilla, Vice Chairman of the Barilla Group. “For Barilla, this means caring for communities, promoting strong values, and investing in technologies and production systems that protect the environment and safeguard people’s health.”
Barilla’s passion for good food has driven the company to improve the nutritional profile of its entire portfolio without compromising on taste: 89% of volumes sold contain no more than 5 grams of sugar per serving, 90% contain no more than 0.5 grams of salt per serving and 90% provide a source of fiber.
Climate change and the pressure on natural resources require an evolution of agricultural practices, with a strong focus on the health of soil and ecosystems. In this context, Barilla’s commitment fits in: in 2025, the company purchased 4,160 tonnes of soft wheat from regenerative agriculture (with a target of 250,000 tonnes by 2030), aimed at restoring soil health and biodiversity while reducing water use.
Through its Barilla Sustainable Farming program, active across key crops including cereals and basil, the Group sourced over 816,000 tons of raw materials since 2010, engaging nearly 7,000 farmers.
Barilla is an international producer of bread, baked goods, pasta and cereal.
