Goal 0

In 2017, Lavazza decided to embrace the challenge issued by the United Nations, to pursue the 17 Global Goals for sustainable development.

In addition to carrying out an in-depth analysis of its own impact on the various Goals, Lavazza wanted to set up a programme to engage its stakeholders.

This engagement programme was ongoing throughout 2018 and was given the name "Goal Zero".

Sustainability affects everybody, and strength lies in unity. For this reason, Lavazza has set itself the ambitious target of making people feel that they are at the centre of this challenge, bringing them as close as possible to the issues raised by the 17 Goals.
