Balocco gets ISO 14064 certified with Metrikflow for the third consecutive year
Tradition and quality, with sustainability at the heart.
Balocco is one of Italy’s most beloved confectionery brands, known for its iconic panettone, biscuits, and baked goods enjoyed by families worldwide. With a strong commitment to tradition and quality, Balocco also places sustainability at the heart of its operations, recognizing that protecting the planet is essential for future generations.
Balocco set out to measure and manage its emissions with credibility and precision.
Balocco wanted to take a serious, measurable approach to sustainability. While they had already implemented several efficiency measures across production, logistics, and packaging, they lacked a comprehensive view of their carbon footprint.
Their key goals were to:
- Measure and track emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 consistently.
- Comply with international standards and be externally validated.
- Engage stakeholders with transparent, credible sustainability data.
A robust carbon accounting framework, built on an AI-driven platform.
Balocco partnered with Metrikflow to build a robust carbon accounting framework. Using our AI-driven platform, they were able to:
- Collect & centralize data from energy use, supply chain, packaging, and transport.
- Measure emissions year-over-year with consistency and accuracy.
- Identify reduction opportunities and benchmark against industry best practices.
- Prepare for ISO 14064 certification, ensuring compliance with globally recognized standards.
For 3 years, Balocco worked with Metrikflow to:
Establishing a clear Year 1 benchmark, with a Carbon Footprint calculation across Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Including energy optimization and logistics adjustments, and launching reduction initiatives across key facilities.
Tracking reductions and efficiency gains across facilities, while expanding the Scope 3 perimeter and improving methodologies.
With auditors validating the results against ISO 14064 requirements, and preparing audit-ready, traceable disclosures.
Together, we built measurable progress and a lasting impact.
Balocco successfully obtained certification, demonstrating the credibility of their carbon management practices.
Over 2 years, Balocco strengthened their sustainability performance, with measurable emission reductions with a 9% reduction in emission intensity and enhanced transparency.
The certification reinforces Balocco’s reputation as a responsible brand, strengthening trust with retailers, consumers, and partners.
