Today, on #WorldPastaDay, we celebrate one of our local brands that's been bringing the taste of Italy to Dutch kitchens for 41 years. 🍝 Grand'Italia was founded in 1983 with the goal of offering the best of Italian cuisine to the Dutch. With a wide range of pasta’s, pesto’s and pasta sauces, Grand’Italia inspires #creativity in the kitchen every day. 🍽️ Behind every product is a passionate team working tirelessly to capture the essence of Italian culinary tradition. Today, from #GBfoods we want to thank them for their dedication and hard work. Let's continue #CelebratingLocalFlavours and the passion for pasta together! 🎉 #GrandItalia #LocalFlavour #PastaLove

#InternationalDayAgainstClimateChange is an opportunity to reflect on the devastating effects of global warming and the extreme consequences we are facing. As part of the food system, and a significant contributor to this phenomenon, we want to be part of the solution. Our commitment is to become #NetZero. 🤝 We are dedicated to reducing our emissions to zero by 2050, and by 35% by 2030. This is not just a commitment; it’s a journey we have already started: ⚡ #EnergyEfficiency: In recent years, we have reduced energy consumption in our factories by 35. 🔋 #RenewableEnergy: 100% of our electricity in Europe now comes from renewable sources. We are shifting to renewable energy to reduce the impact of our operations in both Europe and Africa. 🌱 Biomass Steam Generator: The biomass boiler in our Alcañiz factory will make that site Net Zero, reducing around 2,000 tons of CO2 per year. 🌞 #SolarPanels: The consistent deployment of solar panels in our factories will generate 12% of our electricity globally. They are already installed in our Miajadas, Alcañiz, Puurs, Rubí (Europe), and Tema (Africa) factories. ♻️ #SustainablePackaging: 97% of our packaging in Europe and 82% in Africa is recyclable, with over 50% made from recycled materials.   However, not everything is directly in our control, which is why we are working closely with all our suppliers to accelerate emissions reductions. Watch this video to better understand the key contributors to greenhouse gas emissions throughout the #SupplyChain, from raw materials to the final product. 👇

At #GBfoods, we stand by this year's #WorldFoodDay theme "Right to foods for a better life and a better future ". This message reflects our commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to diverse, nutritious, affordable, and safe food. 🤝 In a world where food crises persist, especially in #Africa, our mission becomes even more critical. Despite our ongoing efforts and collaborations with key organizations like Banc d'Aliments and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to combat malnutrition, 9% of the population in Europe and 30% in Africa still face #FoodInsecurity. 🌎 Looking ahead to 2030, we will continue to drive key initiatives to achieve #ZeroHunger, striving to create a positive impact in all the communities we serve. 🙌 #GBhood #Sustainability #Nutrition

We design long-lasting products that don't require refrigeration, reducing waste from the outset. Additionally, we turn food waste from our factories into animal feed, ensuring minimal environmental impact. ♻️ However, consumer action is also key in this effort. Discover how you can make a difference with small, everyday actions. Together, we can create a positive impact and build a more sustainable future! 🌱 #ZeroWaste #ReduceWaste #InternationalDayOfAwarenessOfFoodLoss
