Our ESG Vision
Our impact spans more than 8,000 hectares of farmland, 4,100 employees, modern farms, processing facilities, logistics fleets and over 150 retail stores. When responsibility is discussed, it is delivered at scale.
The goal is to build a resilient food system for Romania that protects the environment, invests in people and communities, and is governed with transparency, ethics and discipline.
ESG commitments are aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), embedding sustainability into every layer of the value chain.
