Ferrero has recently announced that they will be launching a plant-based version of their world-famous hazelnut spread, #Nutella! 🌰 Basically, they are replacing milk, one of the ingredients of their spread, with a 100% plant-based alternative to cater to consumers who want to reduce or eliminate their consumption of animal products. 🌱 But aside from a potential boost in sales, does a plant-based product move the needle when it comes to your environmental impact, even with a single ingredient switch? We found out the answer with Carbon Maps’ 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥! How did we go about this? We obviously do not have the exact #Nutella recipe, but for comparison purposes, we took a similar publicly available recipe for a standard hazelnut spread and replaced the animal product ingredient—skimmed milk—with oat milk, to eco-design a plant-based version. Where a standard hazelnut spread made with powdered skimmed milk has a carbon footprint of ~𝟓.𝟓𝟏𝐤𝐠 𝐂𝐎𝟐𝐞/𝐤𝐠, the plant-based version has a carbon footprint of ~𝟒,𝟐𝟗𝐤𝐠 𝐂𝐎𝟐𝐞/𝐤𝐠. That’s a 𝟐𝟐.𝟏% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐇𝐆𝐬! And despite a slight increase of 5.3% in transformation, we see a significant 𝟐𝟓.𝟗% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 the 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 stage in the product’s life cycle. At Carbon Maps, we specialize in automating the 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞. Through our validated LCA methodology, our SaaS platform is able to perform rapid and high-precision assessments and extend that capability via an 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 that allows you to simulate impact reductions through not just 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, but also through 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Around this time last year, we announced that we had closed the 2022 financial year for Angelini Industries, reaching a milestone of 2 billion euros in revenue. This was an excellent result that we managed to surpass in 2023 with revenues amounting to 2.15 billion euros and an EBITDA growing by almost 20% compared to the previous year. The group is solid, structured, ambitious, and this is the best result ever. 2023 concludes a very positive cycle, the result of a strategic path we have been working on over the past four years. Clear objectives, a new and modern governance structure, people at the center, investments of over 800 million in the group's key areas—health and industrial technology: these are the ingredients that have allowed us to grow steadily, with an increase in revenue of over 25% in the four-year period. In addition to being particularly proud of the results and the work we have all done together, I believe that we have laid the foundations for an even more significant evolution and transformative journey for the group. We want to become increasingly relevant in the pharmaceutical sector, where Angelini Pharma's performance was excellent with revenues of 1.2 billion euros, half of which was generated in international markets, and where the growth of the CNS (central nervous system) sector is significant and expected to continue in the coming years. For our industrial technology business unit, we aim to strengthen ourselves in the innovative automation of logistic handling. Despite the era we are living in, which confronts us daily with continuous changes and ever-greater challenges, I have great confidence in the future. Building a better future is the vision of Angelini Industries, a responsibility we have taken on and which has guided our work from day one, pushing us to grow, innovate, and face every obstacle with determination and resilience. I look towards the next objectives with the awareness that our values, along with constant commitment and dedication, will guide us towards ever more important achievements. https://lnkd.in/eG72KjCu

Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) are rapidly transforming the global tobacco industry, with Japan and Italy leading the way in their adoption. HTPs, such as Philip Morris International’s IQOS, offer a smoke-free alternative by heating tobacco without combustion, significantly reducing the harmful by-products typically found in traditional cigarettes. Japan remains the largest market, with an estimated value of $11.13 billion in 2023, though growth has slowed as the market matures. Italy, on the other hand, has seen a surge in HTP adoption, with its market value expected to grow to $6.51 billion in 2024. This trend is fueled by increasing consumer interest in reduced-risk products, as well as government initiatives to curb cigarette use. The rising demand for HTPs signals a shift toward healthier alternatives, making them an integral part of the future landscape of smoking alternatives. However, regulatory challenges still exist, especially regarding taxation and product classification, which could affect future growth. #HeatedTobacco #TobaccoIndustry #SmokingAlternatives #HTP #Innovation #FutureOfSmoking #ReducedRisk

Experts say that the food regulator's decision to revoke an advisory against companies labeling milk as A2—despite it being sold at a significantly higher price than A1—is effectively allowing consumers to be misled. In a conversation with The Economic Times, our partner Alpana S. said that the main goal of the FSSAI should be to safeguard public health and safety. However, the decision to withdraw the advisory indicates that the regulator might be worried about how the directive could affect the dairy industry.

Transforming the Vending Industry: Insights from VendItalia 2024 on AI Integration. I had the privilege of speaking at VendItalia yesterday, hosted by the European Vending Association, where I joined a distinguished panel to discuss the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the vending industry. The discussion, expertly moderated by Erwin Wetzel, Director General of the association, offered a wealth of insights and recommendations for operators and industry stakeholders. Looking ahead, the integration of AI in vending is poised to bring even more innovative solutions. From voice-activated machines to augmented reality experiences, the possibilities are endless. As technology continues to evolve, the vending industry must remain agile and open to adopting new tools that enhance both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The discussions at VendItalia underscored that the future of vending is bright, with AI playing a central role in its evolution. Operators who embrace these technologies will be well-positioned to meet the changing demands of consumers and capitalize on new opportunities. We at Coca Cola Hellenic are poised and ready to support our customers and partners. I am grateful to the European Vending Association and Erwin Wetzel for hosting such an enlightening event. The exchange of ideas and the collective expertise of my fellow panelists (Paola Campana, Aslak de Silva, Yaki Grant, Josep Ramírez Tapia, and Dubravko Hendija) reaffirmed my belief that AI is not just a tool for the future—it's a catalyst for the vending industry's transformation today. As we move forward, let's continue to innovate and collaborate, driving our industry toward a smarter, more efficient and customer-centric future. I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd (100+… albeit some were the incredible Coca Cola Hellenic team!). Special thanks to my Autonomous Retail team. Credit where it is due-I guess you are not surprised to know that I was ably supported by AI in drafting this article 😄 #CocaColaHellenic #VendItalia2024 #AIVending #SmartVending #EuropeanVendingAssociation #Innovation #CustomerExperience #OperationalEfficiency #DataDrivenDecisionMaking #FutureTrends

💭How do personal development and a competitive edge go hand in hand?   Last week, I had the pleasure of participating in a barrier-pushing webinar, co-presented by Philip Morris International’s Italian affiliate colleagues that focused on the topic of “Becoming the best version of yourself”. I shared my experience of coming into my own #PMIDNA and heard from other members of the company on how they sustain personal and professional growth.    A few insights and key tips uncovered from our conversation:    ➡️Combine Aspiration with Purpose: Each one of us is the motor of our own development. If we do not take action, it will not happen. When we start with a clear definition of our ASPIRATION and we emphasize our PURPOSE, we become a powerhouse destined for success.   ➡️Maintain a Growth Mindset: We are never done learning – this is a fact. Setting goals for ourselves is not a one-time action. Being curious, asking questions instead of dispensing answers, leveraging perspective from colleagues, mentors and mentees is a key ingredient to broaden and accelerate learnings.   ➡️Embrace Being Yourself: Our human capital sets us apart, beyond any technology or innovative products. We should remind ourselves of the biggest talents that we bring to the table – whether it be creativity, strategic thinking, courage or undeniable passion – to meet our goals. Too often we are asked to fixate on our weakness.   With a vision as large as creating a #smokefreefuture, I feel incredibly supported by my colleagues at #PMI and am encouraged every day to bring my best self to work.    Thank you to everyone who helped organize the webinar and to those who were watching: keep learning, keep growing, and together we move FORWARD! 👏 Sara Bruno Leandro Maggi Isabelle Leggieri Giusy Romagnuolo Lorena Prisco Matteo Dell'Anna #PersonalGrowth #LearningAndDevelopment #SelfImprovement

Insights into the Booming Italian Pet Food Market 🐾 According to the latest data from consumer behavior consultancy Circana, the pet food segment has experienced remarkable growth.
