Ferrero Australia wins sustainability award

Ferrero Australia has received the Gold Partner Award in recognition of its dedication to environmental sustainability. The award is part of the Sustainability Advantage program, supported by the Office of Energy and Climate Change, NSW Government, which aims to empower organisations to accelerate their adoption of sustainable practices and drive positive environmental initiatives.

Ferrero Australia has been a member of the Sustainability Advantage program since 2013 and has achieved Gold Partner status for a third consecutive time. Its Lithgow factory, which produces Nutella and Tic Tac, showcases its focus on sustainability.

Key initiatives include:

• Solar panel installation which generates around 20% of the factory’s overall energy.
• Reduction of water consumption by 30% since 2021.
• Aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions by 1.5% annually by using green energy and electrifying equipment to cut gas consumption by 50%.

Derek Lath, Director of Institutional Affairs at Ferrero Australia, said, “This achievement stands as a testament to the hard work and commitment of our team, showcasing our continuous efforts to reduce our environmental impact while expanding our operations.”
