Our foundations

Fortification

In 2025, we delivered more than 70 million fortified portions per day, and we have partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to further enhance the fortification of our cubes.

Local Sourcing

Having increased the share of locally sourced ingredients and raw materials from 15% in 2017 to over 40% today, we are committed to reaching 70% by 2030.

Local Manufacturing

With more than €100 million invested in 2017 and over 60% of our products now manufactured locally, we have also embarked on our journey toward net-zero emissions.

Local Communities

We have created hundreds of jobs, enhanced working conditions, and implemented comprehensive DEI initiatives.

GBHUB
