Ferrero’s activities to achieve sustainability along its hazelnut value chain include the traceability of this ingredient.

Traceability in Ferrero’s hazelnut value chain refers to the ability to identify the origins of hazelnuts, right back to individual farm or “farm cluster” level. According to Ferrero’s sustainable hazelnut sourcing roadmap, the plan is to be 100% traceable by 2020. Our hazelnuts come mainly from Turkey, Italy and Chile. For the 2018 harvested crop in Turkey, Ferrero has achieved 45% traceability for its sourced hazelnuts, 48% traceability level in Italy and 100% in Chile. Ferrero is working to improve traceability along its value chain demanding greater transparency from all stakeholders to improve quality and sustainability.
