Quality, safety and innovation


Eje 4 - Quality, safety and innovation

Promoting food quality and safety by developing products that meet consumers’ needs

We produce food for people: this is our main raison d'être. For this reason, we have a responsibility to ensure that our food is always safe, healthy, nourishing and tasty, applying our experience and innovation in equal measure to this end.

Strategic lines of the pillar

  • Guaranteeing food quality, safety and traceability: through the Quality Guarantee Programme (PCG) and an integrated production process that guarantees optimum food safety and quality.
  • Innovating to produce healthier, tastier and more sustainable food products.
  • Clear and transparent information on labels.
  • Promoting a healthy lifestyle and responsible consumption.
  • Managing our packaging to ensure a lower environmental impact.

2030 Objectives

Pillar 4: Quality, safety and innovation

The European Green Deal and the legislative framework have already defined a clear horizon for packaging, stating that by 2026 there must be a quantitative decline in the use of single use plastics compared to 2022 (including food-grade plastics), and a progressive increase in the use of recycled materials.

For the coming years, the Vall Companys Group has set itself the task of unifying the criteria for registering and classifying packaging according to the type of material and the proportion of it that is recycled, and to establish a comprehensive packaging strategy which means that 50% of the plastic used will be recyclable by 2025, and 60% by 2030.

Over this period, we intend to promote the use of recycled materials with the aim of ensuring that 100% of the paper and cardboard we use in 2030 will be recycled.

0.6% of our turnover

Innovation is a pillar that supports the whole of our sustainability strategy. As leaders in the agri-food sector in both Spain and Europe, we have the responsibility to move forward in increasingly safe and efficient production techniques, with a lower environmental impact and supported by digital tools that ensure the sustainability of our activities.

Through to 2030, the Group is committed to reinvesting 0.6% of its annual sales in R&D&I projects aligned with its sustainability strategy. In this context, lines of research will be geared towards reducing the carbon footprint of our processes, improving the circularity of resources, increasing the shelf life of our food products, evaluating new eco-sustainable packaging, and developing new food products that meet consumer demands.
