Molino Rachello is the second mill in Europe to officially obtain B Corp certification

Molino Rachello, a historic company from Roncade (Tv) that is celebrating 125 years since its foundation, is the second mill in Europe to officially obtain the B Corp certification.

Sustainability at 360 degrees

The result of a constant process of improvement in the field of sustainability, the company has obtained the certification with a score of 94,9 points, joining an ecosystem of companies that choose to generate social and environmental value with the utmost seriousness.

This certification assesses a company’s overall impact on the environment, workers, communities, customers and governance, and verifies its commitment to high standards of responsibility, transparency and conscious management. This is a process that requires considerable effort and investment in ongoing analysis and measurement, in order to substantiate a way of doing business that is as responsible and sustainable as possible.

“This recognition confirms and strengthens a direction we embarked on some time ago: integrating sustainability into our decisions and daily activities, from the selection and enhancement of raw materials to our relationships with farmers, suppliers and customers; from production processes to our care for the people and the area in which we operate,” says Gianni Rachello, CEO of Molino Rachello “The B Corp certification is not only an important achievement, but above all a new responsibility: a concrete commitment to continuing to measure our impact, improve our choices and build a company capable of creating lasting value for people, the area and the environment.”

The investment plan

Achieving B Corp certification is the result of a shared effort, made possible by the commitment of all the people who contribute to Molino Rachello’s growth every day and share its philosophy and journey.

The operational structure is constantly evolving: with an investment plan of 7 million euros, by the end of 2025 the company had already completed major works to redevelop 70% of the grain production, cleaning and storage facilities. A choice that now enables production to reduce electricity consumption and more, while at the same time improving the characteristics of the grain intended for milling, advancing along a path towards production that is increasingly respectful of the environment and people’s wellbeing.

Oasi Rachello

Among the first in Italy to obtain the organic certification in 1999, Molino Rachello is also recognised for promoting sustainable crop management practices, building a supply chain that is 100% Italian involving 30 farms spread across three regions. The fullest expression of this philosophy is the “Oasi Rachello” project, which involves cultivating grain in uncontaminated areas protected from all forms of pollution, where virtuous, respectful and controlled farming is practised according to precise, shared cultivation guidelines.
