Ferrero Group Sustainability Report 2022 How we promote responsible consumption We strive to offer high-quality products and freshness and always endeavour to communicate responsibly. Introduction Our sustainability progress Our reporting F Why does it matter? Consumers enjoy our products in more than 170 countries, and it is our responsibility to ensure these products meet high standards of safety and quality, and to recommend that people consume them as part of a balanced diet with an active lifestyle. Food plays a central role in our lives and societies, both as a necessity and a pleasure. Thus, the way it is produced, marketed and eaten should contribute to wellbeing and health. As one of the world's biggest chocolate and confectionery producers, we consider nutrition, health and lifestyles to be material issues for our sustainable approach. Obesity rates are rising around the world, including among children and adolescents. It's a complex issue with many causes, but the increasing focus on diet and health has put a spotlight on food producers' marketing and communications. As a leading confectionery company, we must ensure our marketing communications and product labelling help consumers make appropriate choices about the foods they buy and consume. Marketing to children can be a sensitive area, as children can be highly receptive to messages but lack the maturity to form well-considered judgements. Thus, we aim our product marketing communications at adults and parents, and ensure it is consistent with the principles of conscious consumption, physical activity and personal choice. Our approach Our Quality Policy is designed to ensure high quality and maximum freshness when each product is consumed, as well as product and packaging design that complies with environmental standards and avoids unnecessary waste. All our production sites are subject to internationally recognised quality certifications such as Quality Management System certification, ISO 9001, and FSSC 22000 for food safety. Safety-oriented design is particularly important for developing Surprise toys, and all KINDER® Surprises must comply fully with international regulations and our own standards. To ensure the quality and freshness of our products, we measure perceived product quality at many different stages, including point of sale. Our Ferrero Supplier Code also requires inspections at our suppliers' production sites to ensure the security and quality of supplies. With regards to marketing and labelling, the annual performance to our commitments is certified by independent, third-party organisations. Our approach addresses both diet and lifestyle and is shaped by the latest science on food nutrition.
