Looking ahead, the growth plan involves continuing to expand strategically in existing markets and opening new ones that align with healthy and innovative consumption trends.
Investments in Health, Sustainability, and Technological Innovation
In 2022, Vicky Foods allocated more than €21 million to investments, which were directed towards improving procedures and processes, infrastructure, as well as the development of new proposals and R&D+i projects.
A portion of this budget was also dedicated to one of the company's latest projects, the modernization of its packaging printing plant in La Pobla del Duc (Valencia), including the incorporation of state-of-the-art machinery and sustainability-related aspects. These renovations, which began in the middle of the year and expected to conclude in 2024, have a budget exceeding €4 million.
An Increasingly Sustainable Development Model
Environmental responsibility, social commitment, and good governance are integral parts of Vicky Foods' business model, aligning with ESG objectives. As part of its environmental commitment, the company took a significant step forward in its responsible environmental management plan by doubling its electricity generation capacity through photovoltaic plants compared to the summer of 2021. The group invested nearly €2 million in its production centres in Villalonga and Gandía, as well as in its ovoproduct farm and major international holding branches. Furthermore, the company obtained the "Zero Waste" verification from EQA, attesting that Vicky Foods valorizes 99.98% of the waste generated in its production plants in Gandía and Villalonga (Valencia).
In the social sphere, the Vicky Foods Foundation presented the second edition of the "Vicky Foods Foundation Award for Research in Nutrition and Health," which was awarded to a project related to healthy and sustainable nutrition in bakery products.
