Oropan turns tradition and local supply chain into a three-year ESG strategy

Oropan

Oropan S.p.A. is a company that produces and markets bakery products, embodying the culinary tradition of Altamura and carrying forward a deep connection with the Apulian region and Italian bread-making culture.

The context

The Italian bakery sector is undergoing an accelerated transformation: reducing food waste, sourcing from renewable resources, promoting worker well-being, actively engaging the supply chain and local communities are now central themes, no longer optional.


Oropan, although a company rooted in tradition, wanted to demonstrate that innovation and sustainability could coexist with the authenticity of artisanal products.

 

The goal was clear: to move from isolated initiatives to an integrated strategic vision, capable of guiding the company's choices in the coming years and transparently reporting on the progress achieved.


Although not required by law, the company voluntarily chose to publicly report its ESG performance, actively involving stakeholders in defining priorities.

The objectives

Defining a participatory three-year ESG strategy and voluntarily reporting sustainability performance through the first Report compliant with the GRI Standards.

Circularity's contribution

We guided Oropan through a structured journey that integrated strategic planning and reporting, built through the direct involvement of internal and external stakeholders.

1
Stakeholder engagement and materiality analysis: We facilitated a participatory process that involved the company and its main interlocutors, from local supply chain suppliers to employees, from customers to local institutions, to identify the ESG topics of primary interest and build a shared strategy.
2

Definition of the three-year Strategic Sustainability Plan: Starting from the materiality analysis, we structured a roadmap built on 4 strategic pillars:

 

  • Sustainability within the company

  • Care for the environment

  • Innovation and economic growth

  • Value for the market, the supply chain and the region

These pillars translate into 13 objectives and 81 concrete and measurable actions, each linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda. Each action has been assigned time-based milestones to ensure monitoring and accountability over time.

Drafting of the first 2021 Sustainability Report according to the GRI Standards: We supported the company in the voluntary reporting of ESG performance, building a transparent, verifiable document capable of communicating concrete commitment to sustainability to all stakeholders.

The results

Oropan has transformed sustainability from a declared value into a measurable operating system, equipping itself with a three-year roadmap that guides strategic decisions and a public reporting tool that strengthens credibility with the market.
The company has shown that even in the traditional bakery sector it is possible to build a business model that integrates profit, social responsibility and environmental protection.
