Euro Company grows by creating value and strengthening its ties with the local area

Euro Company Società Benefit closed its financial year 2025/26 with a positive result, reporting a turnover of around 180 million euros, up by 11% compared with the previous year.

Social and local commitment

Alongside its economic growth, the company confirms its concrete commitment to people and the local area. As a Società Benefit, Euro Company allocates 10% of its net profits each year to common-benefit purposes and, during the latest financial year too, continued to actively support projects and initiatives for the local area.

Being close to the community in which it operates is an integral part of the mission and values that have guided Euro Company’s growth for over 45 years. A commitment that takes the form of initiatives aimed both at the company’s workforce and at the wider community and that continues to grow stronger year after year.

Più Buono Lab

Over the past year, among the various initiatives linked to the local area, a valuable collaboration with the Zerocerchio social cooperative was added, leading to the creation of Più Buono Lab in Bagnacavallo (Ra); a space dedicated to the employment of people experiencing vulnerability, where inclusion is translated into a concrete and productive activity.

The project, inaugurated last 28 September, involves five disadvantaged people, initially engaged in the packaging of pineapples from the Costa Rica supply chain. Euro Company’s employees also contributed directly to the creation of this workshop, making their skills and experience available, along with all the organisational support needed to define and structure the work process in accordance with company standards.

With Più Buono Lab, together with Zerocerchio, Euro Company chose to turn an opportunity provided for by Article 22 of Emilia-Romagna Regional Law no. 17/2005 into a concrete work experience for people for whom entering employment through the usual targeted-placement tools could prove more difficult. An approach that goes beyond simple compliance and aims to build a model of collaboration between business and social cooperatives capable of fostering autonomy, developing skills and creating new employment opportunities, with the aim of accompanying the people involved towards greater employment stability and generating value for the local area.

The comment

"As a Società Benefit, we believe that a company’s role is also to create concrete opportunities and contribute to the development of the community in which it operates," says Maurizio Castagnoli, General Manager of Euro Company. "For us, this is also the meaning of being Food For Change."
