Dalla creazione del prodotto di punta, Nutella, il gruppo ha lanciato con successo oltre 30 prodotti. Il Gruppo Ferrero è ora il quarto produttore di cioccolato e pasticceria, dietro Nestlé, Mars e Mondelez International. La capacità di innovare e investire su nuovi mercati ha portato Ferrero a suscitare nuove abitudini di consumo, puntando a un obiettivo in crescita, in particolare con il dipartimento Ricerca e Sviluppo, una delle forze principali dell'azienda, portando quotidianamente nuovi concetti dolciari. L'azienda di famiglia ha sempre rifiutato qualsiasi partnership o azionista esterno all'azienda, mantenendo la privacy nella gestione ed evidenziando lo sviluppo interno. Un'altra chiave del successo è il rapporto tra l'azienda e i suoi dipendenti, intriso dei valori e della cultura di Ferrero. Nonostante il suo status indipendente, Ferrero vuole estendere le sue attività, in particolare verso l'Asia e il mercato americano, poiché l'80% delle vendite è realizzato in Europa.

  • NUTELLA® and the Use of Palm Oil: a Case Study
    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 22 NUTELLA® and the use of palm oil: A case study Raymond J Elson Valdosta State University Zulal Denaux Valdosta State University ABSTRACT Ferrrero SpA faced a business and ethical dilemma when its flagship product Nutella®, was linked to potential health issues. Specifically, the European Food Safety Authority or EFSA warned that contaminants in palm oil, Nutella®’s main ingredient, could cause cancer if processed at high temperatures. While some food manufacturers and supermarket chains elected to eliminate palm oil from products, Ferrero SpA selected a different course of action. The case discusses the steps taken by the company to assure consumers that the product was safe for human consumption. The case highlights the challenges faced by multinational organizations that produces and sells a single brand across multiple countries and cultures. Students are asked to evaluate the company’s action plan from an ethical and risk perspective. The case also serves as an experiential learning opportunity since students will be utilizing the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework to formulate responses.

The main concern was over glycidyl fatty esters (or GE) which forms during food processing or when palm oil is processed at very high temperature (over 393 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius).
