Ferrero Australia Sustainability Actions

Published 2025 sustainability report

Ferrero has published a 2025 Sustainability Report and says it includes updates on its sustainability framework, performance data, key actions, and progress across its value chain. A value chain is the full path from raw materials to finished products and delivery. The report also includes a GRI Index, which is a checklist that helps readers see how the company reports against the Global Reporting Initiative standard for sustainability reporting.

Uses traceable ingredients

Ferrero says more than 90% of its main ingredients can be traced back to where they came from. It also says many of these ingredients are sourced through outside sustainability standards such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade Foundation, and Bonsucro. These are certification or standard systems that set rules for farming and sourcing. This suggests the company is trying to reduce risk in its supply chain and make sourcing easier to check.

Supports community programs

Ferrero Australia is linked to community work such as the Kinder Joy of Moving program, which it says has reached students in Australian schools in partnership with Monash University. The company also supports Foodbank and OzHarvest, which are food relief groups, and local tourism efforts in Lithgow, New South Wales, where its factory is based. These actions point to a wider social focus beyond product sales.

Improved packaging performance

Independent packaging reporting shows Ferrero Australia received a level 3, or 'Advanced', in the 2026 APCO Annual Report. APCO, the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, measures how members manage packaging and move toward a circular economy, which means keeping materials in use for longer and reducing waste. This suggests the company has made progress on packaging management, though it is not the top score.

Reported on modern slavery risks

Ferrero Australia’s modern slavery disclosure was rated in the 61-80% range in a 2022 Human Rights Law Centre review. Modern slavery reporting looks at whether companies explain risks such as forced labour and what they are doing to address them. The score suggests the company’s disclosure was stronger than average, but not perfect, and that there was still room for clearer reporting.

Uses renewable electricity

Ferrero-related reporting says the company has invested in on-site solar and signed power purchase agreements, or PPAs, which are long-term contracts to buy electricity from a wind or solar project. One source also says the business committed to powering operations with 100% renewable electricity by 2030, while another says Australian factories were to be powered by renewable electricity by 2020. These claims show a strong focus on cleaner energy, although the dates come from different sources and should be read carefully.
