ANDRIANI POSITIONS ITS BUSINESS AT THE CORE OF CHANGE

Today, the world of business is asked to commit to a paradigm change, aiming for the common good and not just profits; a necessary transition, according to Andriani S.p.A. Società Benefit, who marked its commitment within the Global Compact Network Italia by changing its role from ‘participant’ to Founding Member. 

Gravina in Puglia (BA), 3 February 2021 – It is its ability to bring innovation to the food sector, and its innovative pasta, manufactured with naturally gluten-free raw materials, such as pulses and grains, that propelled Andriani S.p.A. Società Benefit into a leading position in the food innovation space.

However, its role as agent of change, is not limited to shaping the industry through its innovation-driven commitment to R&D.

Virtuous governance and targeted initiatives enable the company based in Gravina in Puglia to drive the entire supply chain towards sustainability, promoting wellness for consumers, the land, the environment, and the community through all its products, and especially its Felicia pastas.

The company’s recent shift within the   Global Compact Network Italia, is a further step towards a new sustainable corporate culture: Andriani S.p.A. Società Benefit upgraded its participant role to that of Founding Member, championing the culture of corporate citizenship globally promoted by the United Nations.

The company is committed to implementing the Global Compact principles towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN 2030 Agenda through practical actions, communicating its progress with a sort of covenant joining businesses, citizens, consumers and, one hopes, institutions too.

“We are greatly honoured to be a Founding Member of Global Compact Network Italia, and this is a significant step towards reasserting the key role played by business, that now more than ever need to commit to a paradigm change, aiming at the common good and not just making profits. This is an unavoidable change that Andriani wants to drive” stated a note from Michele Andriani, President and CEO of Andriani S.p.A. Società Benefit. He was echoed by Marco Frey, President of Global Compact Network Italia, who said: “We are delighted to welcome Andriani among the Founders of our Network, given the commitment it has shown over the years in pursuing the principles of the Global Compact and the goals of the Agenda 2030. In October, we will organize our next Annual Forum in Apulia with Andriani, and migration will be its main theme”.
