Sustainability
Sustainability integrated into our business model
All the activities and the growth objectives of the Cremonini Group are based on integrated economic, social, and environmental processes, initiated over two decades ago in Italy in the production sector, progressively extending to distribution and catering.
Thanks to the characteristics of the food business and even before the Sustainable Developments Goals defined at a global level by the UN became concrete, our Group has always approached sustainability issues pragmatically, considering them as a strategic asset of the business and part of the economic value of the enterprise, especially starting from the production sector. For years, each Sector has published its own Sustainability Report.
The path to sustainability of the Production sector
Inalca has been publishing its Sustainability Report for many years now, with a large and accurate documentation that demonstrates how respecting the environment is a real business model, and that success depends on the combination of economic objectives, which guarantee growth and employment with the close link to the territory in which the company operates.

The path to sustainability of the Distribution sector
On the path to sustainability, MARR has considered the implementation of green strategies as a priority in the management of logistic-distribution processes and in the procurement policies of its products, with particular attention to the sustainable fish supply chain for which it has implemented its own voluntary regulations and vaunts important international certifications (MSC and ASC).

The path to sustainability of the Catering sector
For Chef Express, the green approach means implementing energy saving activities in each premise through photovoltaic systems, the revamping of air conditioning systems, constant monitoring of consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources. Added to this is the constant commitment to reducing plastic and the use of recyclable, biodegradable and compostable materials, in separate collection and in the selection of suppliers already active on sustainability issues.
