On the Path to Sustainable Development

At the GOBARTO Group, we are committed to meeting today’s nutritional needs without depleting natural resources for future generations.

PRIORITIES OF THE GOBARTO GROUP

As leaders in the food production industry, we recognize the growing importance of efficient and sustainable farming and food processing operations – ones that minimize environmental impact and foster positive relationships with local communities and stakeholders. To this end, we have adopted an ESG strategy that defines our vision and long-term commitments for the sustainable growth of our company and its environmental impact from 2024 to 2030. Our efforts are focused on five key pillars that support our mission of sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL & CLIMATE PROTECTION

Our Actions to Date

Our commitment to soil protection

Soil is a key resource we strive to protect and enhance through responsible agricultural practices. For over 20 years, we have practised no-till farming, improving soil structure and health.

Crop Rotation

A diverse planting strategy improves soil structure and mineral composition.

Precision Fertilization

Satellite technology optimizes fertilizer application, minimizing excess use and environmental impact.

Reduced Tillage

Minimal soil disturbance prevents degradation and lowers nitrogen oxide emissions.

Catch Crop Cultivation

Sowing catch crops increases the soil’s water retention capacity and protects it from erosion.

Extensive Grassland Management

We treat grasslands as a natural filter and a way to enrich the soil without the need for intensive cultivation.

Legume Cultivation

Legume crops naturally enrich the soil with nitrogen, improving its quality.

Employee well-being

We create stable and secure workplaces

We guarantee fair wages, offer ample opportunities for growth, and place a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction and engagement. We invest in training programs and health & safety initiatives, fostering a work environment where employees feel valued and motivated.

Our policies

A responsible supply chain

We pursue sustainability at every stage of the supply chain

Our Supplier Code of Conduct and Farmer Code of Conduct set standards for human rights, fair labour conditions, animal welfare, and environmental protection. These guidelines apply to all our suppliers, from raw material sourcing to finished products.

Animal welfare

Animal welfare is a key priority in our operations

Our animal welfare standards comply with legal requirements and, in some areas – such as living space per animal – exceed them. We view responsible animal care not just as a business necessity, but as a fundamental ethical value.

Increased Living Space

Our pigs are given more space than required by law, and we ensure our partner farmers uphold the same high standards.

Individualized Nutrition

We ensure high-quality animal nutrition by using feeding systems tailored to their needs. Half of our sows already benefit from an individualized, computer-controlled feeding system. Our goal is to extend this system to at least 70% of sows by 2030, in line with our ESG strategy. All our feed, including our own formulations, is balanced and sourced exclusively from Poland to support the healthy growth of our animals.

Compassionate Care

We want our employees to treat animals with empathy and understanding, which is why we provide regular training on proper handling practices. Our animals are under the constant supervision of veterinarians and experienced livestock specialists who monitor their health and well-being. We use balanced feeds tailored to the animals’ age and weight. Preventive measures are in place to minimize the need for medication.

Advanced Biosecurity

Biological safety is one of our top priorities. We are among the few in Poland to operate a steam chamber for thermal disinfection of livestock transport equipment, reaching 70°C to eliminate potential risks. We strictly adhere to biosecurity protocols, and our employees undergo regular training to ensure safety at every stage of production.

Social Trust

As a Polish company with family traditions, we are committed to building lasting relationships with local communities

We foster trust by supporting farmers and actively engaging in community life.

Gobarto 500 Programme

As a Polish company with family traditions, we continuously expand our production capacity, enhance distribution efficiency, and introduce our products to new international markets. Through the Gobarto 500 Programme, we support Polish farmers by collaborating with local stakeholders and ensuring the highest environmental protection standards and regulatory compliance.

Gobarto Foundation

Our foundation is dedicated to supporting local communities and regional initiatives. Through its activities, we strive to improve the quality of life in the areas where we operate, with a special focus on helping children and youth facing various challenges. We are also committed to education, environmental protection, and supporting local initiatives. Our relationships with local communities are built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to sustainable development.
