Ferrero Australia has won its third Gold Partner Award for Environmental Commitment as part of the Sustainability Advantage program. Ferrero Australia has been a member of the program since 2013.
The program is supported by the NSW government Office of Energy and Climate Change, and aims to empower organisations throughout NSW to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices and drive positive environmental initiatives.
Ferrero Australia's factory in Lithgow, which has been producing Nutella and Tic Tac for over 40 years, has recently been showcasing its sustainability focus.
Key initiatives include:
• Solar panel installation now generates around 20 per cent of the factory’s overall energy;
• reduction of water consumption by 30 per cent since 2021; and
• aiming to reduce C02 emissions by 1.5 per cent year on year by utilising green energy from the grid and electrifying equipment which is aimed to cut gas consumption by 50 per cent.
Ferrero Australia director of institutional affairs Derek Lath said the award was testament to the hard work and commitment of Ferrero’s team.
“Our commitment to sustainability is particularly evident at our plant in Lithgow, where we have taken significant measures to ensure that all our operations are responsible and sustainable, and we take immense pride contributing to the sustainability journey of the local region," said Lath.
