Passion for quality, research and innovation

Entrepreneurship
This entrepreneurship can be linked to the word “initiative”, a value which in itself embodies the concepts of enterprise and entrepreneurship, that impulse to act on one’s own initiative in order to maximise results.
The difference between a brilliant strategy and success lies in the ability to establish a clear vision, in being proactive with your investments, in being timely with your undertakings, in being excellent in your execution.
A crucial element of sustainability in Ferrero’s model is the accumulation of technical skills and knowledge of products, markets, and consumers over time that guide us from “creating value” to strengthening the “value of creation”.
A great collective entity animated by a trust in progress and by the ability to envision a tomorrow that is better than today..

Work, create, donate – the Ferrero Foundation
We identify ourselves with the motto: “Work, create, donate”, conceived and introduced by Michele Ferrero at the very beginning of his business pursuits. In essence we favour the “ethics of doing” over the “practice of appearing”.
